Omagh businessman Desmond Scott, founder and chair of Scott & Ewing Ltd and Woodvale Construction Company Ltd, has been awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to construction in Northern Ireland and his outstanding contribution to the Tyrone community.
A familiar and much-respected figure in the local area, Scott's career began in 1966 as a plumbing apprentice in Belfast. Just three years later, he and his late cousin Philip Ewing established Scott & Ewing Ltd, laying the foundations for what would become one of Northern Ireland’s longest-standing and most trusted mechanical services (i.e. plumbing and heating) companies.
Driven by a lifelong love for construction, Scott founded Woodvale Construction in April 1980, now an award-winning main contractor throughout the North and South of Ireland. Woodvale Construction holds the record for the highest number of CIOB conferee’s at a single graduation ceremony, achieved in 2018.
