The Aberdeen-based home improvement company has been acquired through a management buyout (MBO) as it celebrates 50 years in business.
Directors Colin Kinghorn and Martin Allan, who have over 75 years of combined experience between them, are passing the torch to a new generation after selling the business.
The new owners are four current members of the Bon Accord Glass team: Michelle Kinghorn (director, accounts and admin), Danielle McAnespie (director, design and sales), Ian McDonald (director, operations – windows, doors and roofline), and Neil Wilson (director, operations – kitchens and living spaces).
Speaking about the acquisition, former director Kinghorn said: “This is a proud moment for me personally and for the business as a whole.
“I am very confident that the new management team of my daughter, Michelle, and her talented colleagues will continue to uphold the reputation for quality and customer care that Bon Accord Glass is known for. I look forward to supporting them as they take the business forward into the next 50 years.”
Allen, who also hands over the reins to a team that includes his daughter McAnespie, said: “It has been a privilege to work with such dedicated staff and loyal customers. The four new directors all have experience across key areas of the business, and this will ensure continuity for our staff and our customers.
“I’m excited for the future and have every confidence that the new team will continue the Bon Accord Glass success story.”
Neil Wilson, speaking on behalf of the new directors, added: “We are honoured to have the opportunity to lead Bon Accord Glass into the future. Our goal is to bring new ideas while continuing the traditions of quality, reliability and excellent service that our customers have come to expect.
“We are fortunate to still have Colin and Martin’s continued guidance as we build on the firm’s impressive legacy.”
Founded in 1974 by Aberdeen businessman Bryan Keith, Bon Accord Glass now has a team of 47. The company provides windows and doors, kitchens, fitted furniture, conservatory roof replacements, and other home improvement services.
While the wider company celebrates its 50-year anniversary, Bon Accord Kitchens, which launched in 2014, is 10 years old.
