Scott was headhunted to run the business by the original owner in 2003 so has been with the company since its formation. Prior to ESG, Scott had a long career with international glass giant Saint Gobain running various businesses for their Solaglas/Glass Solutions network across the UK. He gained extensive knowledge and experience of the UK glass market and construction industry whilst heading commodity tempered, glass processing, glazing, stock distribution and IG manufacturing businesses along with several senior commercial roles including the position of National Commercial Manager with responsibility for 6 manufacturing plants covering the UK.

Having come in at the top to run ESG, which was then a start-up, Scott went on to grow and lead the company to where we are now. Initially, he oversaw our expansion from one processing unit to three, before masterminding our MBO in 2016 and most recently our move to our new streamlined, single-site, state of the art factory. Scott has driven the growth of ESG to become one of the most widely respected and innovative glass processors in the UK.

Having obtained a BA in Chemistry from the University of Oxford, Mark decided to apply his exacting scientific approach to the world of financial management, and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with internationally acclaimed accountancy specialist Touche Ross. Mark then moved into industry, taking up a role as group and divisional accountant with an engineering and construction PLC. After just five years he took up his first Finance Director role, again with an engineering company, before moving sector to renowned domestic furniture manufacturer Ercol.  Mark joined us as Finance Director in 2016, at the time of our MBO, helping us to establish the rebranded ESG Group Ltd as a UK market leader. Mark continues to oversee our finances as we grow in innovation and excellence.

Graeme has also been part of the ESG team from its earliest days, helping us to grow and innovate to become one of the UK’s leading independent glass processing companies. He worked in a number of project management roles before moving into the glass industry in 2003, joining Solaglas Hayes as a Project Co-Ordinator, to work on key accounts. He was, however, soon lured away to form part of the management team at the then fledgling ESG, in 2004. Graeme now fulfils the role of Commercial Director, with responsibility for sales and marketing functions. He loves to challenge himself, completing some of the toughest physical trials imaginable; but also enjoys an intellectual challenge, completing an MBA in Business Administration in 2022. He is currently studying for a PhD in Business with the University of Teesside.
