The Queen’s English matters, but even it is not immune to the evolution of language. As a professional sub-editor and proofreader, setting the right tone is what is most important to me, says our co-founder and director Debbie Scott. To achieve this, she says, we must pay particular attention to detail.

Reflections by our Co-Founder and Director Debbie Scott on life during and after ten weeks of home-schooling, home-working and daily exercising as the UK gradually eases itself out of its Government-imposed national Covid-19 lockdown.

In the Prime Minister’s statement on coronavirus on Wednesday 18 March, he confirmed that total UK Covid-related deaths had risen to 104 and declared the closure of schools from the end of that week ‘until further notice’. Albeit drastic, the decision wasn’t unexpected. Coronavirus cases wer...

The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry needs to move its focus beyond the design and construction phases to take in the importance of whole-life asset utilisation. This is fundamentally all about the data.

Earlier this month in my Global Technology Director role for a client I was interviewed by BIM+ magazine about my views on the importance of data science in the transformation of the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. This blog post is based on that interview. The original ca...

Scott Communications co-founders and directors Debbie Scott and Tony Scott attended today's Partnering with Defence Employer Conference 2020 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. It is great to hear that the Whole Force by Design concept is becoming a reality: industry, regulars, reservists, civil servants and academia working together for our shared national security. It’s what the UK needs.

Scott Communications signed the Armed Forces Covenant at an employers day in Tunbridge Wells on 21 June for organisations wanting to learn about the benefits of hiring service leavers and reservists. Keynote speaker, Tom Tugendhat MP, spoke of his experience as a serving reservist and how he recognises the invaluable talent former service personnel bring to the workplace. Scott Communications signed the Covenant to demonstrate that it is possible to go the extra mile in supporting the Military, even when you’re a small business start-up. Debbie Scott, organiser of the event, and co-founder and director of Scott Communications, said: "As a former Royal Naval Reservist, my passion for supporting the Armed Forces is engrained in me. Also, my previous work in the corporate sector, especially while working for Atkins where I led the setting up of the Gold Alumni Group in 2015 for businesses wanting to give something back to Defence, has instilled in me an appreciation for all that ex-forces personnel have to offer in the workplace. Having a strategy to hire veterans and reservists is so obvious if you want to tackle the skills gaps that most employers find themselves facing."

Scott Communications co-founder and director Tony Scott was proud to represent the Ministry of Defence at a co-signing event for the Armed Forces Covenant on 26 February in Ashford, Kent, during which other employers pledged their support to the Military community. Tony said: "It was an honour signing the Armed Forces Covenant on behalf of the Ministry of Defence at RIFT in Ashford. Having served as both a Regular and Reservist myself, and having worked in civilian life in small and large companies as well as being self-employed through Scott Communications, I appreciate fully the benefits my Naval training and experiences have brought to my civilian career. The support and understanding from employers has been especially important in this, and I am therefore glad to do all I can to help raise awareness of the benefits of employing Armed Forces Veterans and Reservists."
