Ian Jamieson
Ian is in charge of fleet engineering across the company, as well as our workshops in Aberlour.
With a long history in the commercial vehicle fleet maintenance industry Ian has accumulated a vast array of certificates to prove that he doesn’t expect his staff to do what he hasn’t done himself in the past. His previous employers include the soft drinks arm of Bass Brewing, namely Corona Soft Drinks and Britvic Soft Drinks, Richard Lawson Car Delivery Group and Howie of Dunlop before moving to McPherson in 1999. Ian recently received the coveted award for Fleet Manager of the Year for 2008 from the Scottish Transport News. Well done Ian!
He is largely responsible for pushing forward spirit industry standards in the design and health and safety specifications of double deck vans and tanks. We are proud to advise that McPherson Engineering now have full approval from the DfT for the pressure testing of tanks with the UN classification 3065 or 1170. For your tank testing requirements give Ian a call.
Ian also sat on the Scottish Whisky Association transport committee to advise on the future standard of tanks and double deck vans. He is also Chairman of the FTA/VOSA Operator Liaison Committee, set up to improve the condition of Scotland’s commercial vehicle and trailer fleet on our roads and in the VOSA Test Stations.
Originally from Paisley but spent much of his married life in Ayrshire before moving to Elgin, Ian’s commitment to the industry has never changed since his induction into management in 1984. His favourite saying is “service it and make it new again”. It’s pleasing to know that these words have carried him well through the years.
