    Ep17. Safer Group - Ryan Clark

    In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with Ryan Clark, founder and CEO of Safer Group, to explore how a temporary job and a curiosity for technology turned into a fast-growing security business. Ryan shares his journey from studying engineering to building an iPhone app, before realising there was a bigger opportunity to rethink how security services are delivered. He talks openly about the early days of the business, from turning up on construction sites asking for a chance, to sleepless nights spent personally monitoring alarms. We also discuss the mindset required to turn down acquisition offers, why vision and culture matter more than chasing numbers, and how Ryan had to change personally as the company grew. From learning to trust a team, to becoming a stabilising force for both staff and customers, this conversation offers a rare look at the realities of scaling a business. If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, technology-led services, or the personal growth that comes with leadership, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

    Ep16. VWM Wealth - Lisa Johnstone

    In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with Lisa Johnston, Managing Director of VWM Wealth, to talk about financial planning, leadership, and what it really takes to build trust with clients. Lisa shares her journey into financial services, from studying the subject at university to working her way through administration, paraplanning and advice before stepping into leadership. She reflects on following a traditional path, learning the technical detail of the role, and why that foundation has shaped how she leads today. We also explore how many business owners pour everything into their companies while neglecting their own personal financial planning, why understanding your spending is more important than most people realise, and how good advice can set you up for the long term without constant intervention. Lisa talks openly about building a team with both technical skill and human connection, challenging the idea that financial advice should feel distant or inaccessible, and explaining who financial planning is really for in a world full of online opinions and influencers. If you are a business owner, thinking about your finances, or interested in how professional services firms grow through people and relationships, this is an episode well worth your time.

    In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with John Morris, founder of Prime Property Auction and one of Scotland’s most recognisable names in the fast-paced world of property auctions. John shares how he went from having just 15 properties on the books to building one of the most active auction businesses in the country. He talks openly about the early pressure of finding deals, the moment he realised he needed to scale, and the mindset shifts that helped him push the business forward. We dive into the realities of hiring staff, why he waited too long to bring people on, and how he balanced ambition with the day-to-day worries of paying wages and supporting his family. John also breaks down the hardest parts of scaling a business, from building a young hungry team to knowing when to invest in senior talent who can bring their own book of clients. From tracking cash collected every month to fixing problems quickly when the team falls off track, John’s approach to processes, data and accountability offers huge lessons for anyone running or growing a business. If you’re interested in property, entrepreneurship or the honest reality of scaling something from scratch, this is an episode you’ll get a lot from.
