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.
