What's the secret to building a construction business where staff stay for 20+ years and trainees get real experience from day one?
In this episode, Helen McMillan and Ricky Milliken sit down with David Wylie, Managing Director of CCG (Scotland) Ltd, to share the strategic thinking behind running a family construction business that prioritises legacy over quick growth. From giving trainees meaningful experience from the start to running at 120% capacity knowing some jobs will slip. David reveals how deep industry knowledge and relationship-driven culture create competitive advantage.
With candid insights on why face-to-face still wins, the true cost of innovation, and navigating political funding cycles, this episode explores how thoughtful leadership builds resilience when the only certainty is uncertainty.
