About this listen

In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with John Morris, founder of Prime Property Auction and one of Scotland’s most recognisable names in the fast-paced world of property auctions.

John shares how he went from having just 15 properties on the books to building one of the most active auction businesses in the country. He talks openly about the early pressure of finding deals, the moment he realised he needed to scale, and the mindset shifts that helped him push the business forward.

We dive into the realities of hiring staff, why he waited too long to bring people on, and how he balanced ambition with the day-to-day worries of paying wages and supporting his family. John also breaks down the hardest parts of scaling a business, from building a young hungry team to knowing when to invest in senior talent who can bring their own book of clients.

From tracking cash collected every month to fixing problems quickly when the team falls off track, John’s approach to processes, data and accountability offers huge lessons for anyone running or growing a business.

If you’re interested in property, entrepreneurship or the honest reality of scaling something from scratch, this is an episode you’ll get a lot from.
