P/F Leif Mohr er føroysk fyritøka, ið bjóðar seg fram sum heildarveitari innan el-útbúnaða. Fyritøkan varð stovnað av Leif Mohr í 1935, og var hann stjóri, til hann doyði so brádliga 5. desember í 1978, bert 69 ára gamal. Leivur Holm – 3. ættarlið – er nú stjóri felagsins. 15. juli í 1935 vóru lunnar lagdir undir drúgva virksemið hjá P/F Leif Mohr, tá Leif Mohr við eini lýsing í Dimmalætting boðaði frá, at hann var farin undir egið installatiónsvirki og gjørdi alt elektriskt arbeiði »gott, skjótt og bíligt«. Við varsemi, handilsmannagávum og avgjørdum kravi um reinføri og ordan í øllum lutum bygdi Leif Mohr eina el-fyritøku, sum bæði føroyingar og útlendingar hava álit á. Hann tók ongantíð óráð fyri í fyritøkuni, men var altíð úti um seg. Hann legði stóran dent á at hava greiðar linjur í einum og øllum, og eyðkennir hetta enn fyritøkuna. Virksemið byrjaði við verkstaði í einum kjallara í Steinagøtu í Havn, men við árunum hevur virksemið fleiri ferðir vaksið seg so stórt, at neyðugt hevur verið at flutt í størri og betri høli. Menningin hevur verið stór, serliga tey seinnu árini, men fyritøkan hevur fylgt við og tikið tey stig, ið hava verið neyðug fyri framhaldandi at vera í fremstu røð. Við meira enn 70' ára royndum eru vit tann størsta og mest framkomna fyritøkan av sínum slag í Føroyum og kunnu bjóða alla ta tænastu, sum nútíðin krevur av einum ráðgevandi og útinnandi elinnleggjaravirki og el-heilsølu. Harafturat kunnu vit við LM Handlinum bjóða alt tað nýggjasta og dygdarbesta innan eltól og elútbúnað. Í dag húsast Leif Mohr, LM Handilin og LM Electric við øllum sínum virksemi á einum stað í stórum og rúmligum bygningi á Hoyvíksvegnum í Havn, og tilsamans eru starvsfólkini um 55 í tali.

Location and size
Situated in the heart of the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic at 62°00’N, the Faroe Islands lie northwest of Scotland and halfway between Iceland and Norway. The archipelago is composed of 18 islands covering 1399 km2 (545.3 sq.miles) and is 113 km (70 miles) long and 75 km (47 miles) wide, roughly in the shape of an arrowhead. There are 1100 km (687 miles) of coastline and at no time is one more than 5 km (3 miles) away from the ocean. The highest mountain is 882 m (2883 ft) above sea level and the average height above sea level for the country is 300 m (982 ft).
Climate
The weather is maritime and quite changeable, from moments of brilliant sunshine to misty hill fog, to showers. The Gulf Stream encircling the islands tempers the climate. The harbours never freeze and the temperature in winter time is very moderate considering the high latitude. Snowfall occurs, but is shortlived. The average temperature ranges from 3°C in winter to 11°C in the summer. In sheltered areas, the temperature can be much higher, but the air is always fresh and clean no matter what the season.
Population
The population is 48.520 (1st April 2008). About 19,400 people live in the metropolitan area which comprises Tórshavn, Kirkjubøur, Velbastaður, Nólsoy, Hestur, Koltur, Hoyvík, Argir, Kaldbak, Kaldbaksbotnur, Norðradalur, Syðradalur, Hvítanes, Sund, Kollafjørður, Signabøur and Oyrareingir, while about 4,700 people live in Klaksvík, the second largest town in the Faroe Islands.
Form of Government
Since 1948, the Faroe Islands have been a self governing region of the Kingdom of Denmark. It has its own parliament and its own flag. It is not, however, a member of the European Union and all trade is governed by special treaties.
Languages
Spoken Faroese is the national language and is rooted in Old Norse. Nordic languages are readily understood by most Faroese, and English is also widely spoken, especially among the younger people.
Religion
Religion plays an important part in Faroese culture and over 80% of the population belong to the established church, the EvangelicalLutheran. 10% of the population belong to the Christian Brethren (Plymouth Brethren).
Industry
The fishing industry is the most important source of income for the Faroes. Fish products account for over 97% of the export volume. Tourism is the second largest industry, followed by woollen and other manufactured products.
