Kris McGhee Promoted to General Manager at Caps Cases Baillieston

We’re delighted to share that Kris McGhee has been promoted to General Manager at Caps Cases Baillieston.

If you’ve worked with the site team, you’ll know that Baillieston is driven by strong people, high standards and a real get it done properly mindset — and Kris has been a huge part of that.

What does the General Manager role involve?

For Kris, the role is about creating the right environment for the site to succeed — making sure everything runs safely, smoothly and efficiently, while supporting the people who make it happen every day.

That includes:

• Supporting teams and removing barriers

• Looking ahead and improving how we work

• Strengthening site performance and consistency

• Focusing on long-term improvements, not just today’s tasks
  

What is Kris most proud of?

One thing Kris is especially proud of is the strength of the Baillieston team — the skill, knowledge and openness across the site, and the way people support one another to raise standards together.

That shared effort, and seeing confidence grow across the team, is what makes the biggest difference.

Key priorities for the next 3–6 months

Kris’s focus for the months ahead is clear:

• Consistency in safety, quality, on-time delivery and communication

• Embedding robust processes

• Making sure everyone understands how their role contributes to the bigger picture
  

Leadership style

Kris describes his leadership style as approachable, transparent and supportive, with clear expectations and a genuine open-door policy.

Immediate focus: improving communication

One of the first improvements he is keen to drive is better communication flow across the site — making it clear, timely and two-way — so teams feel informed and customers feel the benefit through greater reliability and service.

What keeps him motivated?

On the busiest days, it comes down to the people.

Seeing teams step up, solve problems together and take pride in what they do — especially when things are challenging — is what keeps Kris motivated.

Huge congratulations, Kris — thoroughly well deserved.
