Ownership and Support
Gayle Mill is owned by the North of England Civic Trust (NECT) and operated by Gayle Mill Trust (GMT) as the leaseholder.
After coming third in the national final of the BBC "Restoration" series in 2004, capital funds were raised by NECT to stabilise the building and restore all the water-power systems and Victorian machinery.
GMT also secured funding in order to set the Mill up as an operating company with four principal business lines:
- A heritage attraction open to the public
- A wood-product manufactory and timber services provider
- A training and teaching venue
- A net producer of green electricity
GMT is grateful to the following organisations for their financial support:
