Jamie Shaw

In this episode of Beyond the Blend, we sit down with Jamie Shaw, Director of OMS LubriTek Limited, to talk about building a business, spotting opportunity where others see routine, and why technical curiosity still matters.Jamie shares his journey from mechanical engineering apprentice to technical sales, and ultimately launching OMS LubriTek with a clear ambition to do things differently in oil management and lubrication services.This is a conversation that goes beyond products and process. We explore the reality of building a business, helping customers recognise problems they’ve learned to live with, and why education, partnership and long-term thinking are key to creating real value.There’s also a more personal side. Jamie reflects on turning 50, finding balance, and building a culture that respects life outside of work. It’s a grounded view of leadership — one that values people, time and perspective.We also talk about purpose beyond the day job, from taking on challenges like the Great North Run and Yorkshire Three Peaks, to supporting causes that matter deeply, including fundraising for a friend’s treatment and raising awareness through Andy’s Man Club.A thoughtful and honest episode about resilience, ambition and doing meaningful work with the right people around you. As Jamie puts it, if you’ve got that itch to do something… sometimes you’ve just got to give it a go.If this resonates, take a look at:Selling Lubricants Smarter – A Lubricant Seller’s Journey from Crisis to Successhttps://sellinglubricantssmarter.com/
