GROWTH PLANS AIM TO GIVE GLASGOW BUSINESS A SECURE FUTURE
When Lynne Jhangeer and Ian Arbuckle were looking to grow their manufacturing business, the Glasgow siblings looked to Business Gateway to help them develop their plans.
Launched in 2015, LINIAN has developed
and patented an innovative range of metal clips suitable for the fire industry. Te company’s screwless and fire-rated cable clip is used by electrical and fire alarm contractors to ensure compliance with new regulations and to speed up their installations by up to 70 per cent. Lynne said: “Te business has been
growing quickly and our products have been used in a number of high profile projects, including the refurbishment of both Strathclyde and Glasgow Universities, the Mitchell library, HMP Grampian and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. “When we were looking to expand we
approached Business Gateway and Glasgow City Council for some support. Our adviser was fantastic and identified funding from Scotish Enterprise, which helped us develop our growth plans. “We already have a lot of interest from
customers overseas and this will be an important market moving forward. Tere is a lot to think about when you are exporting
but, fortunately, Business Gateway offered sound advice and our adviser put us in touch with other specialist organisations who can help us with this aspect of the business.” With the business showing an almost
threefold increase in turnover over the past year, there is no doubt Lynne and Ian have planned their growth strategy well, although they certainly don’t have any plans to slow down in the near future. “We love having the freedom to lead the
company in the direction we want,” continued Lynne. “Although we intend to set the pace that we are working to, we have grown much faster than we could have imagined and the fact that we see no limits for the business really excites us. “It is important to keep the momentum
going and we will certainly be tapping into Business Gateway’s wealth of connections and networks again as we continue to grow.”
