Company: The Byre at Inchyra Contact: Caroline Inchyra Address: Inchyra Estate, Glencarse, Perth, PH2 7LU, UK Phone: 01738 860066 Website: www.thebyreatinchyra.co.uk

The Perfect Setting for the Perfect Day The Byre at Inchyra is a blank canvas barn wedding and events venue in Perthshire, Scotland. We speak to Caroline Inchyra as we aim to find out about this luxurious and fascinating venue, that brings so many amazing memories into their clients’ lives. The Byre at Inchyra hosts approximately 50 weddings each year, each one running over three days, giving clients exclusive access to the Byre and the estate at Inchyra during that time. The establishment is a blank canvas wedding venue, meaning it can provide any service possible to suit the bride’s needs. Caroline tells us how the firm works to always achieve excellence and ensure that only the best food and beverages are served at Inchyra. “Firstly, when organising an event for the venue, we offer our clients a choice of Approved Caterers. These caterers are assessed on an event by event basis by our team to ensure that their high standards are maintained.” Providing us with an overview of the wedding sector, Caroline notes that barn weddings continue to be recognised as a common theme, but stresses that at Inchyra, couples are given the freedom to have the event in the style they truly desire. It is the freedom to create along with high-quality customer service which has contributed to Inchyra being selected in LUX’s Best of the Wedding Industry Awards as the Most Outstanding Barn Wedding Venue 2018 in Scotland, and Caroline tells us what it means to her and the rest of the team at the venue. “Barn weddings continue to be popular in Scotland and, particularly, the style of wedding that we offer at Inchyra, where couples can come in and really make their own mark on the venue in terms of the weddings styling, is particularly popular.
“Honestly, we are absolutely delighted that all the hard work and attention to detail that the whole team at Inchyra puts into the venue and into each and every event that is held here has been recognised in this way, and by such a prestigious title.” Other aspects which have been key to the fantastic reputation that Inchyra holds include the team cohesion and thriving work environment, with employees always working hard to produce the best result.
Summer 2018
“Throughout the company, we have a very tight knit team at Inchyra and we work hard to ensure that everyone on the team plays their role to the full. We constantly assess every aspect of both the venue and the assistance that we give to our clients in the run up to their wedding or event. Our approach to everything that happens at Inchyra is to have total attention to detail and our staff all play their part in that.” Overall, the wedding industry is constantly evolving, with couples having different and more varied ideas daily, and the team work hard to meet these requirements. Developing original ideas is something clients have become more adept at, but Inchyra is able to adapt to this and deliver the best event on the day, setting the company up perfectly for the future. Caroline concludes by telling us about the upcoming refurbishments which will see even more couples determined to have their wedding at The Byre at Inchyra. “Obviously as a wedding venue we cannot develop in terms of the number of events we can host, but we can develop in what we offer to our clients. This year, we are investing heavily in refurbishing the old Stable Yard at Inchyra to S P LI T AP P LE provide new extension to an existing property at Inchyra which will RETa R Estunning AT allow us to offer on-site accommodation for the wedding night for our couples.”

Company Name Award Title
Altro is a third generation, family owned business that manufacturers hygienic floor and wall coverings. Altro APAC is a fully owned subsidiary with teams in China, Australia, New Zealand and distribution partners in most other Asian countries. Glen Stratton spoke to us about the firms impact in the industry. “We are a global leader of specialised products to the health, education, hospitality, retail and pharmaceutical sectors. We are often first to market with innovative products. Our client base is rather wide including governments, architects, builders, flooring contractors and end users. “In Asia Pacific, we are focused on delivering the highest quality solutions and an exceptional customer experience. Because we offer specialised products for high function areas we can separate our products and services from our competitors, who have a more general approach to these sectors. By building long term value added relationships we feel this will

continue to set us apart into the future. “We have spent a lot of time as a team establishing who we are, what we stand for and why we are doing what we do. We are very focused on staying true to these principles. Bringing in talented people, empowering them and then supporting their own growth is also proving beneficial.” Glen explains what the challenges of working in the APAC region are and how he has managed to overcome these challenges through keeping motivated and positive. “As we sell premium products in the construction market with a focus on safety hygiene and sustainability, the biggest challenges have been emerging markets where these factors are lower priorities for many of the individual markets. Ensuring we stay true to our core strategy while addressing specific local needs is proving successful. It is a slow process however we have persistence, our own good people and some great regional partners taking us forward.
“I get the motivation I need to succeed from our people. Helping them succeed and achieve their own goals in both business and life is very satisfying. There are times where you need to step back and reflect and finding that time for personal thought is also important to me.” “One of the appealing things about the APAC region is that it is so diverse. This provides big challenges however also big opportunities for companies who get their strategy correct. Of course these days, no one is truly isolated from world events however I feel there are still many emerging markets in the region that will provide a bright future for us.” As well as staying motivated in order to ensure the success of the business, Glen lists the other attributes he has that he believes have made him successful. “Active listening, patience, persistence and a drive for constant improvement are behaviours I hold dear. I also feel the focus to strip away all the distractions and focus on what is
really going to make a difference is a constant goal.” Price and technology are the main changes that have appeared in recent years in the construction industry. Glen explains these changes and how they affected business. “The construction industry continues to become more and more focused on price. The majority of building continues to be completed as cheaply as possible rather than delivering quality long term solutions to end-users. Margin issues and time line pressures for our customers continue to increase and in 2016 we saw several large flooring contractors enter in to periods of financial hardship or liquidation. “As we supply products to specialised areas such as Hospital surgeries, developments in technology is going to play a huge part in our future. Altro have a dedicated innovations team with the specific goals of creating products that contribute to healthy environments and improved well-being. Recently we
