Scott Logic is a UK-based software consultancy working in a variety of different sectors including capital markets; energy trading; e-trading; financial services; health care; oil & gas and the public sector. The company was founded in 2005 by Gary Scott, who worked as an executive director at Lehman Brothers for over a decade before returning to the North East of England.

The consulting services that Scott Logic delivers include technology strategy and advice, user experience design, managed services and software development, testing and engineering, typically for large-scale enterprises with complex software systems and needs.

The company has four development centres in Newcastle,[1] Edinburgh,[2] Bristol,[3] and London,[4] and works with technologies including .NET, HTML5/jQuery and Java. As of the end of 2016, Scott Logic had around 210 members of staff, with a large number of consultants recruited for their technical expertise and academic achievements.

The consultancy business includes a graduate recruitment program,[5] designed to attract developers from leading universities, and a paid summer internship.[6]

Scott Logic also owns shinobicontrols, a mobile technology brand providing software components, such as charting and other data visualisation tools, to native iOS and Android app developers.

Sponsorship

Scott Logic sponsors Agile North East and Bristech Meetup groups. It also partners with several universities, including Durham University, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Bristol. Annually, it sponsors computing awards at Heriot-Watt University[7] and runs Hackathons for computer science students at Newcastle University[8] and Durham.[9] Its developers are also active in their local communities, running after-school Code Clubs for nine to 11-year-olds, to teach them basic coding skills among other things.[10][11]

The company is a certified partner in the Microsoft Partner Network.[12]
