While in Fort William last week to oversee the start of ground investigations work for the new alloy wheels plant at Lochaber smelter, Liberty Industries Group chief executive Dr Douglas Dawson also turned his attention to wheels of another kind when he presented a Liberty-made superbike to Alan Donald. Mr Donald is a process controller in the aluminium smelter who chose a name for the new office block just opened at the site to house the project team overseeing the building of the wheels plant.
Mr Donald chose the Gaelic name Aisling Mor, which means ‘Big Dream’ to reflect what he said was the ambitious vision Liberty has for the site as a future centre of manufacturing excellence for Britain’s multi-billion-pound car industry. Dr Dawson said: ‘That name was perfect for a building that will be at the heart of this exciting project.
‘We have chosen to dream big because Fort William has so much potential and we want to unlock that potential and create something of real value for the local and regional economy.’
