The Scottish entrepreneur, the premium gunmaker and the Turkish concrete firm

It's pretty quiet in the London market during the dog days of August, so I thought I would inform loyal readers about this little deal I stumbled across that involves the reclusive entrepreneur Dr Jim Hay, who heads one of Scotland's wealthiest families.

For readers unfamiliar with Dr Hay, he worked at BP for almost 30 years before founding JMH Group, a construction and lifestyle company whose upmarket brands include Saville Row taylor Bernard Weatherill, gunmaker Ray Ward and French hunting lodge Parc de Launay.
