Aberdeen-based home improvement firm Bon Accord Glass has been acquired through a management buyout (MBO) as it marks 50 years in business.

Directors Colin Kinghorn and Martin Allan are handing control to a new generation after selling the business.

The new owners are Michelle Kinghorn (director, accounts & admin), Danielle McAnespie (director, design & sales), Ian McDonald (director, operations – windows, doors and roofline) and Neil Wilson (director, operations – kitchens & living spaces).

Bon Accord Glass provides windows, doors, kitchens, conservatory roof replacements and other home improvement services.

“Colin and Martin, whose leadership and dedication have been at the heart of the firm’s 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,” said the company.

“Colin and Martin completed their own MBO of Bon Accord Glass in 2008.”

Allan 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 …

“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, 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.”
