Established in August 2009 as a Community Interest Company, East Renfrewshire Community Enterprise Trust (ERCET) brings together the best of the public, private, third, and academic sectors to advance economic development and collaborative thinking across the local authority area.
Managed by a voluntary Board, ERCET does not distribute profit and operates on the principles of community benefit.
We recognise the need for targeted and effective economic development and regeneration activities in East Renfrewshire and work together with partners to identify gaps and deliver services to meet local needs. We aim to:
- deliver high quality economic development projects, products and services that our communities require
- promote and support enterprise and entrepreneurial behaviour
- influence and provide strategic input into local economic development and wider regeneration policy across East Renfrewshire
- involve the broader community of East Renfrewshire in economic development activities
