Equi's Ice Cream - David & Alex Equi | Glasgow Business Stories Ep14

Описание: In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with father and daughter team David and Alex Equi, the leaders behind one of Scotland’s most loved ice cream brands, Equi’s. From a family shop with more than one hundred years of history to a state of the art factory producing award winning flavours, this is a story of craftsmanship, ambition and staying true to your roots.

David shares how selling the original Hamilton shop allowed him to focus on building a world-class production facility, and why asking for help from peers and industry allies became a turning point in the company’s growth. Alex talks about bringing the brand into a new era, from technical training to flavour development, while keeping the heritage and personality that customers love.

We dive into everything from robotics and machinery to quality control, supermarket standards and the balance between small batch creativity and large scale efficiency. It is a rare look behind the scenes of how great ice cream is made and the work it takes to keep improving year after year.

If you are interested in food production, family businesses, or how heritage brands evolve without losing what makes them special, this is an episode you will enjoy.
