A CILT(UK) visit to Brodie Engineering's Kilmarnock rail refurbishment works, with a talk by business development director Jim Thomson.

CILT(UK) Scotland hosts an in-person visit to Brodie Engineering at Caledonia Works in Kilmarnock. Founded thirty years ago and now the only business of its kind in Scotland, Brodie Engineering provides refurbishment, maintenance, overhaul, engineering support, project management and repair services to the UK rail and light rail sector, employing 150 people after expanding from Bonnyton and taking over the former Hunslet Barclay site. Rolling stock leasing company Porterbrook took a 49% stake in the business two years ago. Speaker Jim Thomson, the company's business development director, introduces the firm and its operations during the two-hour visit.
