Business Ears podcast profiles global ironwork entrepreneur Brian Rourke
Business Ears show #035 was released on Friday and features an interview with Brian Rourke, founder and Managing Director of one of the most successful manufacturing SME’s in the North West – B. Rourke & Co. Ltd.
Now Brian’s story is a colourful and inspirational one – having left school without any qualifications and after a national service spell in the RAF, he started his ironsmith’s business by converting a ‘hen hut’ on his sister’s Lancashire farm into a forge.
Over the following 48 years, his vision and persistence have seen the business grow, both in the UK and abroad – it today exports to over 30 countries and has an office in the USA…not bad for a lad from Bacup!
Brian’s humour and modesty make this one of my favourite shows we’ve produced to date, you can listen to the interview here and to check out previous shows visit www.businessears.co.uk
