Episode Details

Calum didn’t follow a path – he built one.

He joined Gillies & Mackay at 16 with no plan, no trade, and no idea what he was walking into. What followed was years of pressure, chaos, heavy graft and brutal lessons on-site – the kind that either break you or build you. Calum chose to build.

From cutter to delivery team, from apprenticeship to leading operations, and now building his own company inside the business – this is a story about resilience, responsibility, standards and belief.
