Bon Accord Glass acquired through management buyout



Aberdeen-based windows, doors, kitchens and fitted furniture specialist Bon Accord Glass 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 reins on to a new generation after selling the business. The new owners are 4 key members of the Bon Accord Glass team: Michelle Kinghorn (director, accounts & admin), Danielle McAnespie (director, design & sales), Ian McDonald (director, operations – windows, doors & roofline), and Neil Wilson (director, operations – kitchens & living spaces).

The transition marks a significant milestone for the Aberdeen firm. Kinghorn and Allan will remain actively involved as advisors, ensuring continuity and providing support to the new team.

Kinghorn, 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."

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."

Bon Accord Glass provides a wide range of services, including high-quality windows and doors, kitchens and other fitted furniture requirements, conservatory roof replacements, and other home improvement services. Bon Accord Glass is celebrating 50 years in business, while Bon Accord Kitchens was launched 10 years ago. From its Riverside Drive offices and showrooms, Bon Accord Glass has built a first-rate reputation in Aberdeen and the North-east of Scotland. Founded in 1974 by Aberdeen businessman Bryan Keith, Bon Accord Glass has grown to become a trusted name in the home improvement sector, with a team of 47.
