Techscaler at Mastermind continues on Thursday 17th September at Skypark, Glasgow.

For our next session, we’re delighted to welcome Avi Boparai and Baljinder Boparai, owners of HPD Suppliers - one of Scotland’s most dynamic independent plumbing and home-improvement merchants.

Across plumbing, heating, renewable technologies, bathrooms and kitchens, Avi and Bal have built a trusted business around service, product quality, strong supplier relationships and customer experience.

Their journey offers a valuable perspective for founders on what real business growth looks like in practice - scaling across multiple locations, leading teams, adapting to market change, and positioning a traditional trade business for the shift towards more sustainable technologies.

With around 300 people employed across their projects, this will be a fantastic opportunity for founders and students to learn from business owners who have built with consistency, ambition and strong foundations.

What a fantastic evening at Business Collect: Leadership & Legacy.

A huge thank you to Sir Peter Vardy and Peter Vardy for sharing such an inspiring story of business, leadership, faith and family.

We’re also incredibly grateful to IKEA Glasgow, one of the world’s most recognisable brands, for being such brilliant hosts.

And a special thank you to Rathbones for another excellent update on market volatility and what investors should be watching through the rest of 2026.

Finally, thank you to everyone who joined us and made it another memorable Business Collect.

Techscaler at Mastermind returns tomorrow evening.

This time, we’re welcoming Ajmal Mushtaq, CEO of Boss Pizza, for a session focused on growth, sales, operations, and what it really takes to build a business that can scale.

Ajmal’s journey brings a different but hugely valuable perspective for our tech founders. From management consultancy and major business improvement projects to building one of the UK’s fastest-growing food brands, he understands how to turn ambition into structure, momentum, and commercial growth.

For founders, the lessons are clear building a great product is only part of the journey. You also need customers, systems, sales, resilience, and the ability to keep moving at pace.

That is what Techscaler at Mastermind is all about: giving founders access to real-world experience that can help them think sharper, move faster, and grow with confidence.
