Ian MacGregor
Sir Ian Kinloch MacGregor, KBE (21 September 1912 – 13 April 1998) was a Scottish-American metallurgist and industrialist, most famous in the UK for his controversial tenure at British Steel and his conduct during the 1984–85 miners' strike while managing the National Coal Board.
==Early life==
Born in Kinlochleven, Scotland, his parents were Daniel MacGregor, an accountant at the British Aluminium plant,〔Lloyd, J. "(Man of steel – and coal: Obituary Sir Ian MacGregor )" ''Financial Times'' (14 April 1998): 8. InfoTrac Full Text Newspaper Database. Gale. Cheshire Libraries. 16 September 2007〕 and his wife Grace Alexanderina, ''née'' Fraser Maclean, a schoolteacher.〔 MacGregor's parents were members of the Calvinist United Free Church and he received a devoutly Christian upbringing.〔Cosgrave, P. "(Obituary: Sir Ian MacGregor )" ''The Independent'' (London, England) (15 April 1998): 17. InfoTrac Full Text Newspaper Database. Gale. Cheshire Libraries. 16 September 2007〕 During the UK General Strike of 1926, his elder brothers drove trams in Glasgow to help break the strike.〔Lyall, S. "(Sir Ian MacGregor, 85, Bane Of Mine Workers in Britain )" New York Times'' (15 April 1998): NA. InfoTrac Full Text Newspaper Database. Gale. Cheshire Libraries. 16 September 2007〕 He attended George Watson's College, Edinburgh and Hillhead High School, Glasgow. At the University of Glasgow, MacGregor studied metallurgy and engineering with some distinction, receiving a first-class degree. He then earned a diploma with distinction at the Royal College of Science and Technology.〔Kirby (2006)〕
MacGregor started work as a metallurgist in 1935, alongside his father in the Kinlochleven aluminium plant but he was soon recruited as a junior manager at William Beardmore and Company's Parkhead Forge to work on vehicle armour.〔 There, he faced an early confrontation with trade union leader David Kirkwood in a strike involving crane-drivers. MacGregor's handling of the matter, involving driving cranes himself for two weeks, brought him to the attention of chairman Sir James Lithgow, who marked him out for rapid promotion.〔"(Sir Ian MacGregor; Obituary )" ''The Times'' (London, England) (14 April 1998): 21. InfoTrac Full Text Newspaper Database. Gale. Cheshire Libraries. 16 September 2007〕
At the start of World War II in 1939, MacGregor went to work for the Ministry of Supply on the development of tanks. Minister of Aircraft Production Lord Beaverbrook was the next to spot his talent and commandeered him to travel to Canada and the US on procurement missions for aviation amour. He was then seconded to the British military mission in the US where he started to become familiar with US industry,〔 including work on the development of the Sherman tank.〔
