What does it really take to grow a successful independent garage?

In this episode of the Harmonic Motion Podcast, we're joined by Paul Griffiths, owner of Elite Land Rovers in Clydebank.

Paul shares his journey from working alone in a small unit to building what is now Scotland's largest independent Land Rover specialist.

Along the way, he's faced the real challenges that come with rapid growth — from managing people and process, to protecting your own wellbeing as the pressure mounts.

In this conversation, Paul and James discuss:

• The turning points (and missteps) in scaling a garage
• Recognising the signs of burnout — and making space to lead
• Making the finances support the business you're trying to build

It's a reflective discussion that speaks to the realities of life in the trade — and what it means to build something with care.

We hope you enjoy!
