Education
Summer 2004
Left school with 11 GCSE’s 10 of which were above a C grade.
2006
Went to Fareham college for 2 years to study Aerospace engineering at a BTech level where he graduated with a triple distinction.
2009
He then went on to study Motorsport Technology with a first year scholarship from the university of Hertfordshire and graduated with a BSc at a 2:1 level
This was a very generalised engineering degree with a few Motorsport specific topics, Software engineering, workshop practices, health and safety, fluid and thermo dynamics etc. were all studied in great depth.
2011
After a year of video editing for a leading mystery shopping company, He started his education with the BHI. During this period he was apprentice to Chris Baldwin MBHI whilst also managing the shop in Twyford Winchester.
Continued professional development
As his apprenticeship came to an end and after only 3 years of experience, Scott was approached to write a beginners book on clockmaking, which has excellent reviews on Amazon, a link to which can be found in the footer of this website.
Scott was awarded a grant from the heritage crafts foundation to equip the workshop for wheel cutting. We have since learned and upgraded our wheel cutting equipment, cut gears for other clockmakers, and passed on the skills to others in the trade.
Scott now teaches the small components courses at Upton hall which encourages him to read up on and practice different techniques to teach the students.
He also serves as an examiner for the institute, ensuring high standards for the next generation of clockmakers while staying current with industry advancements.
