The Early Years of Mr Scott & Mr Sargeant

The Early Years of Mr Scott & Mr Sargeant

There was a surprise revelation this week, with the news that US Masters winner Adam Scott is the grandson of one of Scott & Sargeant's eponymous founders. The Australian golfer's parents emigrated to Australia in 1953, but his grandfather Rupert remained as a partner in what was already an established ironmongery firm, and has gone on to become perhaps Horsham's longest standing local business.

No doubt the sportsman would be pleased to hear that his forefather's name lives on through both his sporting acheievements, and through our supply of woodworking machinery; the only irony being that whilst Adam Scott strives to keep his game under par, Scott & Sargeant endeavour as much as possible to do the very opposite!
