Keppie Announces New Board Directors to Strengthen Leadership Team

We have some very big news…

We are delighted to announce the appointment of three new directors. Suzanne Mackrell, Neil Buchan and Neil Whatley have accepted our offer to join the board effective from 1st August 2025.

They will become the first new directors of Keppie since the current directors, Peter Moran, Fraser Low, Richard MacDonald and David Ross, made the decision in March 2024 to transition our 170-year-old practice into Employee Ownership.

The appointments will enhance our leadership team and drive our vision for future growth and development. They each bring a wealth of experience in the design and delivery of some of our most significant and award-winning projects, and contribute to our commitment to design excellence and client satisfaction.

Speaking on behalf of the new directors, Suzanne Mackrell said, “Transferring to Employee Ownership last year created a platform from which we can build on Keppie’s 170 year legacy, allowing a new generation of leaders to evolve the strong foundations built by the current board. The opportunity to become a Director of Keppie, our dynamic practice with such rich history and heritage, is a huge privilege. Having collaborated closely together for the past 2 decades, my fellow new Directors and I, recognise that we all bring different attributes to the board, and in that diversity lies our collective strength. We look forward to writing the next chapter of the Keppie story and helping to shape the future of the business for generations to come.”
