Scott Logic is a UK-based software consultancy working primarily in financial services and the public sector. The company was founded in 2005 by Gary Scott, who worked as an executive director at Lehman Brothers before returning to the North East of England.[1] In January 2021, Stephen Foreshew-Cain was appointed as the company's CEO, succeeding Gary Scott who remains as the company's chairman.[2]
The company has five UK development centres in Newcastle,[3] Edinburgh,[4] Bristol,[5] Leeds[6] and London,.[7]
In 2018, Scott Logic used funds recovered from Lehman Brothers[8] to provide seed investment for the foundation of the Altitude Foundation, a charity which aims to support young people in the North East of England from under-privileged backgrounds to build careers in STEM industries.
