In Sydney 1938 Walter D Scott founded WD Scott & Co. which (by 1970) had grown to become the largest consultancy in Australia.
At one point WDScott existed in many countries around the globe.
- Australia: In 1985 WDScott merged with Coopers & Lybrand -- WDScott (now one word without a space) was re-established and re-launched as a separate brand in Australia in 2004, and in 2007 was incorporated as WDScott Ltd (see below).
- New Zealand: By 1986 WDScott had merged with DH&S
- United Kingdom: WDScott continued as a separate brand .
WDScott has recently re-launched the brand under WDScott Ltd, a public unlisted Australian corporation, with a new international board and an impressive management team to lead the firm. The WDScott methodology and knowledge suite have been re-vitalised and re-established within international academic and business communities.
WDScott now has offices in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane), UK (London), and the US (New York).
Famous quotes containing the word scott:
“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
