Welcome to Brushworks.
Our founding team are a group of friends who’ve been brought together through a mutual love of climbing and the outdoors!
Having sampled some of the best Bouldering destinations in the world (from Rocklands to Albarracin and Fontainebleau to Torridon), we decided it was time to bring our passion for bouldering outside, inside to Glasgow. We’ve taken the best bits from our favourite centres across the globe to create Brushworks. We’re striving to inspire a community of climbers who will all come together within (and on!) our walls.
Meet THE FOUNDERS
Joseph Frost
Our Centre Manager joined the project with an invite to the right pub at the right time (he loves a pint). In his free time Joe likes to be outdoors fishing or bouldering, unwinding with games and exploring music – mostly pop-punk and nu-metal.
Joshua Robertson
Operations Director and all-round climbing nerd. Will often be found gearing up for a sport climb or planning out the rack for his next trad route. Outside climbing Josh enjoys spending time with his wife and dog, seeking out the best coffee and gluten free cake he can find and testing his movie trivia.
Adam Ryder
Our Managing Director likes fishing, mullets, country music, pickup trucks and his wife. When not welcoming people into the centre he will be found, waders on, waist deep in a river. As the driving force behind the inception of Brushworks, he is a man with a plan.
Oliver Parkinson
Our Director of Climbing has over a decade of route-setting experience. He can usually be found up a ladder with drill in hand or making coffee in our cafe. Away from work he will be laden with pads and a camera seeking out wild bouldering locations, climbing with his wife and daughter, or making music.
Jacob Dale
Lowering the average age of the team, our Business Development Manager brings youthful energy to the group. Despite being a munro-bagger and outdoorsman, Jake has found himself a terminally indoor boulderer. Likes missing holds, getting technical on (spread)sheets, good beer and throwing the odd dart when he’s not stuck (over)working.
