MACGREGOR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES LIMITED
MACGREGOR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES LIMITED is an active private limited company registered in Scotland under company number SC173566. Incorporated on 18 March 1997, it supplies industrial equipment, workwear and consumables and provides equipment hire and technical services. Companies House records wholesale activities covering clothing and footwear, machinery and equipment, and chemical products, alongside machinery and equipment rental.
Its product range includes hand and power tools, personal protective equipment, clothing and footwear, welding equipment and consumables, hydraulic and industrial hoses, paints, lubricants, trailers and groundcare machinery. Its specialist divisions serve construction, aquaculture, agriculture, forestry and groundcare, as well as hygiene and catering requirements. Customers can purchase through physical branches and online trade shops. The company website also identifies equipment hire as a separate division.
MACGREGOR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES LIMITED supports equipment throughout its working life through workshop and on-site servicing, repairs, installations and routine maintenance. Its technical services include calibration and certification for gas monitors, construction levelling apparatus and metering equipment. Other services advertised on its website include clothing and product branding, paint mixing, key cutting, face-fit testing and first-aid training. These service lines complement the supply of equipment and consumables for trade and business customers.
The registered office is at 15–17 Henderson Road, Inverness, which the official website separately identifies as its head office and main showroom. As reviewed on 8 October 2026, the website names locations in Inverness, Aberdeen, Elgin, Inverurie, Kirkwall, Portree, Stirling, Stornoway and Turriff. An announcement published on 11 August 2026 confirms the opening of the Stirling branch on Munro Road, extending its presence into central Scotland. Its history page dates that opening to July 2026 and describes Stirling as the ninth branch location.
The business history dates its first shop in Invergordon to 1985; that trading-history date is distinct from this legal entity’s incorporation in 1997. In its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, note 7 reports an average of 355 persons employed by the company, compared with 334 in 2024. This is a reporting-period average rather than a current headcount.

Shareholders

Shareholders of MACGREGOR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES LIMITED
The last reviewed full member list, dated 2 March 2016, names two direct shareholders: J.W. MACGREGOR with 760,000 ordinary shares and M.A. MACGREGOR with 300,000. These reconcile to 1,060,000 issued ordinary shares, giving calculated historical holdings of approximately 71.70% and 28.30%. Each share had a nominal value of £1; this is share capital, not the market value of either holding.
The accounts to 31 March 2025 still report 1,060,000 fully paid ordinary £1 shares. However, unchanged issued capital does not establish unchanged holders. The confirmation statement made on 10 March 2026 contains no shareholder update, and it predates the subsequent trust-control notifications. The 2016 allocation describes historical ownership; current direct holdings are not established by these documents.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Companies House now records six active persons with significant control, all notified from 30 March 2026: Alexander James Macgregor, Morag Ann Macgregor, John William Macgregor, Martin Fraser Mackay, James Donald Macdonald and Alexander William Macgregor. For each, the registered control condition is ownership of 75% or more of shares with control over the trustees of a trust. The same trust-control condition applies to all six entries; it does not represent six separate direct holdings of 75%. They do not disclose each person’s personal economic entitlement or an exact effective ownership percentage.
John William Macgregor and Morag Ann Macgregor’s earlier PSC entries ended on 30 March 2026. The new entries identify registrable controllers; they do not provide the trust instrument, beneficiary entitlements or a complete current register of members.
Data availability
Partial. Exact direct holdings are available historically; current PSC disclosures establish trust-related control. Current trust-control PSC information is available, but a current exact allocation of direct holdings and individual economic interests was not established from the reviewed filings.

Group Structure
Group structure of MACGREGOR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES LIMITED
The company’s accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 establish a direct, wholly owned subsidiary: PACKAGING SOLUTIONS SCOTLAND LIMITED. Note 15 states that the company’s investment relates to 100% of that subsidiary’s share capital. The subsidiary’s own Companies House PSC register corroborates control by MACGREGOR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES LIMITED from 9 December 2021, reporting at least 75% of shares and voting rights. The exact 100% figure comes from the accounts, not from converting that PSC band.
The same accounts report consolidated turnover of £49,631,394 for the year ended 31 March 2025, compared with £46,417,537 in 2024. These are consolidated figures and should not be presented as standalone turnover of SC173566. A corporate parent above MACGREGOR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES LIMITED was not established from the reviewed filings.
Verified corporate relationships
| Entity | Country | Registration number | Relationship | Ownership | Status | Information date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PACKAGING SOLUTIONS SCOTLAND LIMITED | United Kingdom (Scotland) | SC270354 | Direct subsidiary | 100% share capital | Disclosed subsidiary in FY2025 accounts; current status not separately verified | 31 March 2025; PSC control from 9 December 2021 |
Data availability
Partial group: the table records the shareholding established by the filed accounts, rather than treating operational branches or related-party transactions as subsidiary relationships. The history page’s reference to a 2024 Balgownie acquisition is insufficient by itself to determine whether shares or business assets were acquired, so no additional subsidiary relationship is asserted from it. The evidence reviewed does not establish a complete structure as at 8 October 2026.
