McTear’s managing director, Brian, joined the company in 1987 after two years apprenticeship in a small auction concern in his home town Greenock. Working through the roles of auction clerk, assistant, junior valuer, auctioneer and saleroom manager, he became a Director in 2003 and soon after Managing Director. Brian has three children, Kerr, Briony and Connor, and very recently a granddaughter Margot, first child to Connor and his partner Hannah.
As a lifelong supporter of Scottish Championship football team Greenock Morton, Brian was honoured to accept an invitation to join the club's board in July 2016, primarily in the business's commercial and hospitality side.
His involvement in McTear's doesn't leave a lot of spare time, though when there is, he'll usually take advantage of any glimpse of sunshine with a round at Gleddoch Hotel & Golf Club, or a cycle along the coastal paths of Greenock and Gourock.
