The Donald Malcolm Heritage Centre was built by Andrew Malcolm, in memory of his father, Donald, known and respected as one of the greatest and most enigmatic businessmen ever seen in the Scottish Road transport industry.
Now the legend lives on in the Heritage Centre. The building itself was reconstructed from an original shed that was dismantled at Brookfield, the company's old headquarters. It houses a unique display of 15 fully operational trucks from the last 50 years of the company's road transport history and is designed to celebrate the legacy of The Malcolm Group. Most of the trucks are taken on the road to the various truck events throughout the UK.
The centre itself is built just a stones throw away from the company's current headquarters in Linwood. Amidst its massive warehousing, railhead, logistics and vehicle servicing complex, it encompasses a large part of the Renfrewshire area, spanning from Linwood well into Johnstone.
At the moment visits to the Heritage Centre are by prior arrangement only.
