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 company.
Our new owners are four key members of the Bon Accord Glass team: Michelle Kinghorn (director, accounts & admin), Danielle McAnespie (director, design & sales), Ian McDonald (director, operations – windows, doors and roofline), and Neil Wilson (director, operations – living spaces). Collectively, the new directors also have a combined 75 years of expertise.
The transition of ownership will be a smooth one and is a significant milestone for our well-respected company.
Colin and Martin, whose leadership and dedication have been at the heart of our long-running success, will remain actively involved as advisors, ensuring continuity and providing support to the new team as they introduce their own ideas while maintaining the company’s core values of quality and excellence. Colin and Martin completed their own MBO of Bon Accord Glass in 2008.
Colin, who has 40 years of service at Bon Accord Glass, 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.”
Martin, who has been with the business for 35 years, is delighted to hand over the reins to a team that includes his daughter, Danielle. He commented: “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, said: “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.”
We will carry on providing a wide range of services, including high-quality windows and doors, kitchens (Bon Accord Kitchens was launched 10 years ago), other fitted furniture requirements, conservatory roof replacements, and additional home improvement services.
From our Riverside Drive offices and showrooms, Bon Accord Glass has built a first-rate reputation in Aberdeen and become a trusted name for home improvements in the North-east of Scotland since our formation in 1974 by Aberdeen businessman, Bryan Keith.
Our team currently consists of 47 employees, and we recently recruited additional sales staff to manage increased customer demand.
Please rest assured that it’s very much “business as usual” at Bon Accord Glass and we can tell you that we are extremely excited about this new era for the business.
