The KLIN Group

The KLIN Group is a Scottish property development, regeneration and investment company founded in 1988 by John Dick.

[4] The KLIN Group has invested heavily in the regeneration of Kilmarnock town centre, including renovation and restoration work on the derelict Opera House building in John Finnie Street, having re-constructed the interior of the building following fire damage.

During the 2000s, his daughter Marie Macklin took over the running and operations of the business as chief executive officer, which saw the company focus more on property development and regeneration work within Kilmarnock and East Ayrshire.

The £60 million investment package included the restoration of the former Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. headquarters adjacent to the new superstore, as well as for the derelict Opera House building on John Finnie Street.

The connecting part to the original red-bricked building had been developed into accommodation, with several apartments available for rent and lease available.
