City Access Scaffolding has completed a management buyout, with its existing leadership team taking full ownership of the business.
Original co-founder Mark Skinner, alongside directors Ryan Scott and Ross Archibald, has acquired the company. The move marks a transition in ownership following more than 11 years of trading.
Kirsty Allan and Jonathan Allan, who co-founded the business in 2014, have stepped away from the company after gradually reducing their involvement in day-to-day operations.
The new ownership structure formalises the leadership team, with Mark Skinner appointed managing director, Ryan Scott as operations director, and Ross Archibald as commercial director.
The company said the change represents continuity in how the business has been operating in recent years, with the existing leadership team already responsible for its day-to-day running.
In a statement, Kirsty Allan said the business had grown from a start-up with limited capital into an established contractor delivering projects across Scotland.
She added on LinkedIn that the company is “in a strong position, with a capable leadership team and clear direction for the future”.
Jonathan Allan said the original aim of the business was to deliver quality work and create long-term opportunities within the workforce.
Mark Skinner said the focus would remain on developing the company’s workforce and supporting progression from within the business.
Ryan Scott said he was “proud to now be part of leading it into its next chapter”, while Ross Archibald added that the company would continue to focus on client relationships alongside commercial discipline.
City Access Scaffolding has also confirmed it will continue investing in apprentices and workforce development as part of its next phase.
The business was founded in 2014 and operates across Scotland.
