Scott has been involved in safety, teaching, guiding and training for almost 30 years in a variety of subjects ranging from personal fitness training to high altitude mountaineering. He is at home teaching either groups or carrying out one to one coaching and works regularly with groups such as young offenders or alternatively, corporate management teams and in particular film crews and production teams.

From fitness conditioning to technical rope rigging on TV shoots, Scott draws upon a vast range of experience to ensure he meets the safety needs of the indivual or team. Scott’s skill base formed its foundations when he served as a Commando in the Royal Marines seeing active service around the globe. He finished his service as a Physical Training Instructor, responsible for training Royal Marine Commando recruits, trained Commando’s and members of the Special Forces in skills ranging from specialist amphibious operations to specialist Commando skills such as unarmed combat, specialist boat and helicopter operations, climbing and abseiling.

After leaving the Royal Marines Scott joined the Police Service and after a period as an operational Police Officer, became a self-defense Instructor, a Riot Squad Instructor, Taser instructor and qualified as a national risk assessor, A1 assessor, First Aid Instructor and attained his CERT Ed and NEBOSH deploma in Health and Safety.

Scott’s experience as a leader, motivator and safety supervisor is well proven following operational active service, training and operating in extreme environments such as the Jungle, Desert Arctic and Antarctic. Four full winters spent mountain training in Norway, 15 seasons in the Alps, working in every continent and almost a year working in Antarctica speak for themselves.

Over the last 15 years Scott has appeared front of camera on numerous TV programs depicted as a motivational expert for channels such as BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and the Discovery Channel. He has worked behind the scenes with production companies procuring and supplying specialist technical equipment and offering specialist skills and expert advice on rigging for adventorous activity's such as climbing, abseiling, extreme water activities, helicopter operations and works in a stunt co ordination role. Whilst filming, he is responsible for crew safety, cast safety and general health and safety management of the cast, crew and team. Scott is currently the Project Development Manager for the Bear Grylls Survival Academy’s which specialise in extreme outdoor events and survival courses world wide.
