Ruari McCallion
freelance writer

Ruari has been a full-time writer for 30 years. He’s been published in the UK, USA, Europe and the Middle East, in newspapers and magazines including The Manufacturer, Via InmarSat, Automotive Logistics, Daily Telegraph, UK Manufacturing Review, spiked, and even the Times Higher Ed and Morning Star (when a lot younger). He’s written for magazines in South Africa, Australia, China (who paid) and Russia (didn’t).

He’s dabbled in DJing, rock music, motor racing and financial services before finding his niche in manufacturing, supply chains, logistics and energy.

Among his better-known interviewees were Richard Elsy, founder of High Value Manufacturing Catapult, and Ron Dennis and Frank Williams from F1. He’s interviewed senior executives with Bentley, BAE Systems, Jaguar, Mitsubishi, Special Metals Wiggin, Boots Manufacturing, BP Castrol, BASF, etc, and was a regular guest on Alastair Stewart and Friends, on GB News.

Ruari broke the news that the British Army had cancelled its orders for depleted uranium munitions on the same day that a political scandal about Tony Blair’s son erupted in Westminster – he knows about ‘good days to bury bad news’! He has experienced what it’s like to be a missile in a nuclear submarine, courtesy of BAE Systems.
