About Nigel Scott

Lived 1945 – 2023 (aged 77).

Nigel Guthrie McNair Scott (6 September 1945 – 7 April 2023) was a British businessperson.

Biography Scott was born to Major Ronald McNair Scott and Mary, daughter of the first Viscount Camrose, and grew up in Huish, Hampshire, near Hackwood Park. His early life was influenced by a family background connected to journalism and traditional rural pursuits.

Scott was educated at Eton and later at Christ Church, Oxford, where he earned a second-class degree in philosophy, politics and economics. During his time at Oxford, he met Anna Colquhoun, whom he married in 1968.

His career began in accounting at Dixon Wilson, followed by work in the property sector with Charter Consolidated. In 1974, with Michael Slade, he helped to transform an engineering business into a property business, later known as Helical Bar, where he held roles including finance director and chairman (2012–2016). He also contributed to technological developments in hypersonic and net-zero flight through his involvement with Reaction Engines.

After returning to Hampshire in 1995 to manage the family estate following his father's death, Scott and his wife engaged in local governance and charitable activities.

Scott's aunt was the archaeologist Leslie Scott.
