    Ep3. Loader Monteith - Matt Loader
    Jun 27 2025
    In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with Matt Loader, Founding Director at Loader Monteith, a practice redefining what it means to design responsibly in the built environment.

    Matt shares the story behind Loader Monteith’s work, from sensitive conservation projects to large-scale developments like the Jenners revival. But it’s not just about architecture. It’s about values.
    Sustainability sits at the heart of everything they do: reusing materials, reducing waste, and creating buildings that are as easy to disassemble as they are to admire. Matt talks about how circular design principles bring long-term value to clients and why beautiful buildings should always be built to last.
    We also dive into the unexpected ways inspiration strikes, why cross-disciplinary thinking matters, and what business owners in any industry can learn from an architect’s mindset.

    Watch the full episode now and hear how one of Scotland’s most thoughtful practices is building a better future without compromising on beauty.

    May 30 2025
    In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with Michael Bergson, the Managing Director behind Buck’s Bar — the rock’n’roll bar chain that’s become a Glasgow institution. Known for its legendary buttermilk fried chicken, Nashville heat, bold cocktails and bourbon, Buck’s isn’t just a bar — it’s a full-blown experience.

    Michael takes us back to the early days: navigating a launch during the credit crunch, flyering the streets, and a game-changing restaurant review from Tam Cowan. He shares how one Instagram post from Shania Twain sent shockwaves through the brand, how “Buckdown” queues formed during lockdown, and why creating an atmosphere people feel is at the heart of his vision.

    From hospitality hustle to brand-building brilliance — this is a story of grit, instinct, and creating the kind of place people queue for.
