Harvey McLean - Managing Director
The son of an architect, Harvey is a time served joiner of considerable repute. He completed his apprenticeship with his grandfathers firm Donald C.McLean Builders in Ayr and after attaining his city and guilds accreditation he went on to work with a number of national housebuilders.
With his passion for exceptional quality standards, Harvey decided to set up on his own in 1990, establishing Harvey McLean Builders which specialised in home extensions and one off new build houses.
Expanding through the 1990’s Harvey acquired a small joinery manufacturing firm in 1997 having initially spotting the demand for bespoke joinery items such as staircase, door screens and sash & case windows.
Harvey’s progressive move into the furniture industry came in 2002 when the company was awarded the prestigious joinery contract for the renovation of Ladykirk House, the home of the renowned Entrepreneur and Philanthropist - Sir Tom Hunter.
The business continued to grow from strength to strength culminating in 2003 with a move to 12000Sq./Ft modern facility at Heathfield, Ayr. Here, Harvey set up the modern workshop, showroom and administration centre which today, is the envy of others in the market. From this new base, Harvey continues to develop the Harvey McLean brand, now firmly recognised throughout the country.
Harvey is a highly focussed individual whose dedication to delivering unrivalled quality and exceptional service standards sets him head and shoulders above others in the industry. Outside of his business interests Harvey enjoys golf - sometimes hitting a 9 iron 180yards (that’s Ayrshire Links Golf for you) and skiing (although he’s not the Frans Klamer he used to be).
