 Meet Janine Cracknel


Janine was born in 1975 in a little village in the heart of beautiful Dorset and married her husband Mark in 1998.  Janine and Mark have lived and worked all over the UK including London, Cardiff, Jersey, Durham and Grimsby.  Prior to becoming a full-time mum in 2008, Janine had worked in many customer service and relationship management roles including JPMorgan, Reed Recruitment and Liverpool Victoria.  Janine loves learning and studied at Robert Gordon University recently and achieved a Certificate in Higher Education in Business Management.

The Cracknell family moved to Kintore from Dorset in 2012 when their daughters were 4 years old and 2 years old. Kintore was chosen over other Aberdeenshire towns because of Kintore Primary School and the brilliant additional support needs unit within the school. It was essential to find the right school for both daughters and Kintore matched the family’s requirements.  

Janine has been running a monthly support group for parents and carers of children with additional support needs for the last ten years.  The support group is open to any parent or carer with any additional need, regardless of diagnosis status and offers a non-judgemental supportive environment to share experiences, brainstorm solutions and munch on some home bakes!

Janine is an active member of the Kemnay Academy Parent Council and represents KDCC on the parent council.  Through the KDCC, Janine had the opportunity to work as a polling clerk in recent local and Scottish elections based at Kemnay Public Hall which was rewarding.

Janine loves cooking, long walks along Newburgh beach, listening to political podcasts and family movie nights.

Janine joined the Community Council in October 2020 as an associate member and was elected the first time around as secretary in 2021.

Meet Jim Reid.


Family man Jim is Managing Director of Kintore car dealership Jim Reid Vehicle Sales & Service.

Jim joined the KDCC in June 2022 as he wanted to give something back to the local community. Motivated to join the community council as he was incensed that the local FREE Community Magazine , the Kintore Konnect was on the brink of extinction and wanted to help save it. 

Taking this important community asset within the control of the KDCC has been a real game changer and the magazine is now thriving.

Jim also helps organise and coordinate the community volunteer team , the Kintore Resilience Group which has been a been very active during the local flooding in late 2023. He also headed up the Kintore- It's Your Neighbourhood Project 2024, which was a massive success.

Meet Angus Cheyne

Angus is a graduate in farm business management with a broad and varied career in agriculture. His experience spans the full agricultural system, from farm work to agronomy. 

After a stint as a potato agronomist for Tesco suppliers, he ventured into new business ideas, developing skills in web marketing. Angus has since become proficient in e-commerce, selling a variety of products including turf, garden supplies, whisky, and food. 

Currently, he is working with a young business to develop their firewood enterprise through a period of rapid growth. 

Having moved to Kingsfield Road just in time for the 2023 floods, Angus was so impressed with the local resilience group that it inspired him to join the community council and "put his shoulder to the wheel".

 Meet Ken McEwen.

Throughout his career, Ken McEwen’s focus has been on communications and media. He started with the Press and Journal, became press officer at the Aberdeen City Council, moving to NESDA, before founding his own PR company.

When he moved to Kintore, in 1999, the town was perceived, in some quarters, as simply a “dormitory town” for Aberdeen. Ken saw the web and social media as way to correct this image and project Kintore as the truly vibrant community it is, with a strong history and heritage.

He set up the kintore.org.uk website, followed by the Kintore Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram. After 20 years of running them as a free service to Kintore, ownership was transferred to Kintore and District Community Council in 2021.

Ken served as vice chairman and acting chair of Kintore and District Community Council between 2019 and 2021 – a period which included adapting to the pandemic and switching meetings to online. 

Ken is a trustee with local charity Action Kintore, who run The Bothie youth organisation and are working to bring the Town House back into use for the community.
