The MBO ends 90 years of family control over the firm. Richard McKean, the group's chairman, said: 鈥淥ver the years, I've worked closely with Dave and Mark and know that they're very experienced industry operators. They are more than capable of taking McKean Group to even higher achievements in the coming years.鈥�
