Former owner, Fergus Hardie, remains as a shareholder and director but will take a step back from day to day operations. He will continue to use his industry knowledge and experience to support the team over the next few years.

Mr Hardie said: “Macdonald Henderson were outstanding from start to finish. David Beveridge and Laura McKnight guided us through the entire process with determined resolve and complete clarity. Offering reassurance when required, they were a genuine delight to work with. Not once was I in any doubt that I had the best possible advisors in my corner”.
