Our Partnerships
Proud members and supporters of Scotland’s rural and hospitality communities
GLM has spent decades working on Scotland’s existing buildings – the farm steadings, estate properties, hotels, castles and country venues that give our landscape its character. Bringing those buildings back into productive life takes more than design and construction skills; it takes a real understanding of the sectors our clients operate in.
That’s why we’re active members and supporters of the organisations that champion rural enterprise, land-based businesses and hospitality in Scotland. Being part of these networks keeps us close to the people we work for and means the advice we give is grounded in how these businesses actually work. Here’s who we work alongside and what that means for you.
Scottish Agritourism
The national body representing farm-based tourism. Through its Go Rural brand and annual conference, it supports a fast-growing community of farmers and landowners opening up their land and buildings to visitors – from farm shops and cafés to accommodation, weddings and visitor experiences. We’re proud to support Scottish Agritourism and to take an active part in the sector.
What this means for you: Diversifying a farm or estate almost always begins with a building that wasn’t designed for the job. We help agritourism businesses turn redundant steadings, barns and farmhouses into accommodation, retail, hospitality and event space – from first feasibility study through planning and listed building consent to technical design and construction.
Scottish Land & Estates
The membership organisation that has championed rural businesses and the land-based economy in Scotland for more than 120 years – representing everything from large estates to farms, campsites and community-owned land. As a member and supporter of SLE, we stay close to the issues facing estate owners and rural businesses.
What this means for you: Estates carry some of the most demanding building portfolios in the country – historic, listed and mixed-use properties that must keep working while they’re cared for. GLM brings surveying, architecture and project management under one roof: planned maintenance and condition surveys, sensitive conservation, and diversification projects that open new revenue from existing assets.
BUELL Hospitality
Scotland’s leading network of service and supply companies dedicated to supporting hotels and the wider hospitality sector, giving independent and SME businesses access to trusted expertise. GLM is proud to be the building consultancy partner within the BUELL network – the specialists hospitality clients are referred to for chartered architecture, surveying and project management.
What this means for you: Hotels, restaurants, bars and venues live and die by their buildings – and the best are often historic properties worth keeping. We help hospitality businesses realise their building’s full potential, from masterplanning and feasibility through to new bedrooms, spa and function facilities, lodges, refurbishment and extensions – managed from concept to completion.
