Whisky barrel flooring firm toasts new velodrome deal

Richard McKay, a director at family-owned McKay Flooring, has been doing more than thinking out of the box to ensure his company thrives through the downturn – he has been thinking out of the barrel.

The company, based in Govan, Glasgow, has in recent days struck a £200,000 deal to provide the special wood flooring for the new Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow’s East End. It is also now offering the world’s first floors made from whisky barrels.
