After completing a degree in financial economics at University of Derby, Scott started his career at Mattioli Woods in 2001 as part of the trainee programme. On becoming an adviser, Scott continued to further his knowledge and has since achieved Chartered Financial Planner status. This has also led to him becoming a Fellow of the Personal Financial Society (FPFS), which is the highest designation awarded by the Personal Financial Society, with only a small percentage of advisers having attained it. 

Over the last two decades, Scott has developed skills as a high-level holistic financial planner, advising both personal and corporate clients. He is also involved in the consultant operations side within Mattioli Woods. 

Growing up in Leicester and still living in the county, Scott has been an avid Leicester City supporter since he went to his first game when only seven years old; unfortunately he has not yet been able to convince any of his children to follow! Scott is also a keen angler when he has the time.
