By 2008 he had moved to Cyprus and worked for a leading locksmith mainly providing assistance in the Automotive side of the business, this is where he realised his passion was dealing with customers face to face and the vehicle side of the industry.After returning back to the UK and assisting with various security e-commerce websites he decided that he was now ready for a shop of his own. As 2020 set in the world hit a huge pandemic “Covid-19” Was this going to be the start or the end of Scott’s ambition to open a locksmith retail shop?

By September 2020 many shops were closing due to the pandemic, landlords were finding it hard to rent out properties and so many lay empty in the deserted town centres, this is when Scott realised, he could find a high street premises at a reduced rate and maybe even a few months free rental period, there was only 1 thing holding him back, working capital and assistance.
