Ivan McKee is a busy man. As the Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise he's got several plates spinning at any one time - not to mention all the current distractions of the First Minister race.
Brought up in Glasgow, he got a degree in Manufacturing Sciences and Engineering from Strathclyde University and an MBA from Newcastle University.
After spending two years in Bangladesh with Voluntary Service Overseas, McKee worked for various manufacturing companies. In 2005, he started his own manufacturing consultancy firm and from 2009 to 2015 invested in, and led turnarounds of, several businesses in the sector - including buying assets from Dunfermline-based Simclar out of administration.
