David R Kesson CA

3 April 1939 – 7 February 2024

David Ray Kesson (M07920) has died, aged 84.

After leaving Allan Glen’s School in 1956, David joined Wilson, Stirling and Co. We note from his papers that, during his apprenticeship, he was awarded the Sir William McLintock Prize in 1958. After qualifying he began his career with the iconic firm of City Bakeries, following which he spread his wings and moved to Southport to take up a role with Pilkington Glass.

Drawn back to his roots, he moved his young family north to Bearsden to become the Finance Director of another famous Glasgow company, McKellar Watt. 

His last position was with the Bowater Containers Group at its Milngavie plant, where he would spend more than 25 productive and happy years. The company changed ownership over the years before the Milngavie site became headquarters of the Scottish operations as part of the Swedish multinational, SCA. David, in his role as Finance Director Scotland, was highly regarded and greatly respected for his integrity and outstanding ability.

He died at home.
