A FORMER Rangers footballer has been named managing director of ZLX Business Solutions.
David MacKinnon, who also turned out for Arsenal, Dundee, Airdrie, Forfar, Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle, has joined the company following a spell as a consultant. ZLX advises firms on how to make research and development tax claims.
Mr MacKinnon has forged a career in business since hanging up his boots, working in licensed retailing with Bass and Pub.com, before returning to the game to hold senior executive roles with Kilmarnock, Dundee, Clyde, Hamilton Academical and Greenock Morton. ZLX said in a statement that he has already introduced clubs and other businesses to the company, “all of whom have gained sizeable cash returns, which have proven invaluable following the damage done by the pandemic”.
Such companies have been involved in live sport and entertainment and in hospitality, ZLX noted.
Mr MacKinnon said: “My diverse career has prepared me well. In joining ZLX, I will be able to help a huge portfolio of clients who are drawn from over 40 different industries.”
The appointment comes shortly after ZLX moved to a new office in Glasgow. It also has offices in London and Manchester.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
