Ep8. Blantyre Fabrications - Lorna McFarlane

In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we chatted to Lorna McFarlane, Managing Director of Blantyre Fabrications, where every truck-mounted concrete mixer starts as a flat sheet of metal and ends as what Lorna calls “a beautiful lady”.

Lorna shares how she’s built more than just mixers, she’s built a team she can trust for the long haul, blending decades-long relationships with fresh talent from the next generation. She talks about rolling up her sleeves to transform a shell of a workshop into a thriving site, and how the support of suppliers and the reputation she’s earned over the years helped make it happen faster than anyone expected.

If you’re interested in building something that lasts, whether it’s a product, a team, or a reputation, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
