Building Resilience in Business | Alan Baxter, Rowan Glen
Rowan Glen is a yogurt producer located on the edge of the Galloway Forest in South-West Scotland. Their site in Palnure has been producing yogurt for over 30 years, making it one of the longest established yogurt manufacturing sites in Scotland.
In 2023, Factory Manager Alan Baxter launched a management buy out following the closure of the factory by the previous owners in 2022.
In this session, Alan Baxter shared how he had to learn quickly as he rebuilt the business by introducing new products, rebranding existing products and becoming a Living Wage & Living Hours employer.
