We are thrilled to announce that Colin has been promoted to Partner, marking a significant milestone not only in his career but also for The McKinstry Company as we celebrate our 40th year in business. Colin’s promotion is a testament to his dedication, exceptional expertise, and the integral role he has played in our firm’s continued success.

Colin’s journey with The McKinstry Company has been characterised by hard work, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to providing the highest standard of service to our clients. Over the years, he has built strong relationships, developed innovative solutions, and contributed significantly to the growth of the firm.

Managing Partner Robert Honeyman remarked:

"Colin has been a key part of our team for many years, and his promotion to Partner is well deserved. He exemplifies the values we stand for—excellence, innovation, and client commitment. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, it’s inspiring to see how Colin continues to grow both professionally and personally."

This has been a particularly momentous year for Colin as he also stepped into the rewarding role of fatherhood. Balancing the demands of professional growth and family life is no small feat, and Colin has embraced both roles with enthusiasm and grace.

On a personal note, Colin’s promotion has a touch of nostalgia. Colin grew up in Castle Douglas and has been a long-time friend of fellow Partner at the firm Debbie Dunlop. Reflecting on their shared history, Debbie said:


"Colin and I go way back to our days as Douglas Lad and Lass! It’s been fantastic to see him grow into such a respected professional and now a Partner. I’m thrilled to work alongside him at this level."

Parnter Thiona McQuiston added:

"Our firm is deeply committed to fostering talent and supporting career development, and Colin’s journey is a shining example of that. His leadership and vision will undoubtedly strengthen the firm as we look ahead to the future."

Partner Kirsty shared:

"Colin’s promotion reflects his dedication and the respect he has earned from both colleagues and clients. We are proud to see him reach this milestone and know he will excel in his new role."

Colin’s promotion is a proud moment for the firm and a reflection of our commitment to nurturing talent and providing opportunities for growth. We look forward to seeing Colin continue to contribute his expertise, leadership, and innovative thinking in his new role as Partner.

Congratulations, Colin!
