In this episode of Industry Wave, we speak to Ken Munro, CEO of Encircle, about a career shaped by engineering, manufacturing and a passion for making things happen in Scotland.
From leading major transformations at Superglass and Kingspan to launching Encircle, Ken shares the lessons that have guided his leadership journey — from staying relentlessly customer-focused to embracing innovation, disruption and well-managed risk.
We also explore Encircle’s circular approach to turning leather-industry waste streams into high-performance materials, the opportunity this creates across construction and other industrial markets, and why developing Scotland’s next generation of engineering and science talent is just as important as developing the businesses themselves.
A conversation about leadership, circularity, innovation and the people who will shape the future of Scottish industry.
