NFD Ltd is the trading subsidiary of the Findhorn Foundation. Since its inception in 1983 it has operated many offshoot businesses that have sprung from Findhorn Foundation activities.
Mission statement
The role of New Findhorn Directions is to provide accommodation, infrastructure and other site services in the context of The Park Ecovillage and in partnership with the Findhorn Foundation and community.
What we do:
NFD's current roles and functions can be divided into five categories:
Trading
Runs its own business, the Findhorn Bay Holiday Park, for profit.
A percentage of the cash profits from the Findhorn Bay Holiday Park go to the FF to support its charitable work. In addition, NFD's balance sheet (company value) is included in the FF's total asset value.
Agent
Manages the FF's commercial interests. It holds and operates the site licence for the Findhorn Bay Caravan Park (FBCP), commonly known as The Park campus.
It holds shares, on behalf of the FF, in community organisations, such as Phoenix Community Stores, Findhorn Wind Park and Dunelands development.
It manages the various buildings the FF owns and leases out to other business' in the Park, i.e. the Phoenix shop, Blue Angel Café, Pottery, Trees for Life and Posthouse Printing.
Utilities
Provides public utilities to the Park. It provides electricity and water to domestic and commercial consumers in The Park.
Operational management
Runs services that are owned by the FF. It operates the Living Machine (sewage treatment plant).
Factor
Manages the Title Holders Association (land owners in the Park) maintenance fund.
This fund finances HoCo, the name given to the Park's collective infrastructure, which NFD manages. The infrastructure included under HoCo consists of all the roads, paths, street lights, sewers and drainage in the Park.
NFD also contributes to the development of the ecovillage, e.g building holiday chalets and supplying electricity from four wind turbines.
NFD, working in the world of business and commerce, consciously strives to embody the guiding principles and ethos of the FF in its daily work.
