Scott Rothwell Shortlisted for Two Leadership Awards 

We’re proud to share that DASCO Managing Director, Scott Rothwell, is shortlisted in two categories at this year’s Leadership Awards. 

Scott is named as a finalist for: 

  • Young Leader 
  • Leader of a Company with Over 101 Employees 

The awards take place on Thursday 27th March 2025 at The Midland Hotel in Manchester.

Bringing together leaders from across the Northwest to recognise excellence in leadership, culture, and organisational impact. 

Why This Shortlist Matters 

This recognition reflects the way DASCO has grown over the last decade.

Consciously, carefully, responsibly, and with people at the heart of every decision. 

Leadership, the DASCO Way 

Scott doesn’t lead from behind a desk, he leads from the ground up. 


Alongside the people who make DASCO what it is. 

Leading a business of more than 100 employees comes with significant responsibility, and this recognition highlights a leadership approach built on trust, long-term thinking, and consistency.  

It acknowledges the challenge of scaling a business while protecting its culture, values, and sense of purpose. 

A Leadership Style Rooted in Values 

Scott’s leadership style has always been hands-on and people-led. 


From site teams to office-based staff, DASCO builds its culture on clear communication, progression based on potential, and creating an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Being shortlisted in both categories highlights Scott’s leadership as he guides a growing organisation through rapid expansion while staying focused on what truly matters.

A Shared Moment of Pride 

While the shortlist carries Scott’s name, it represents the collective effort of the DASCO team. 

Leadership grows through the people around it, and this recognition belongs to the wider group of Dasconites who contribute to the business every day.

This regional recognition places DASCO alongside leaders from across the UK and marks an important milestone that we’re proud to share.

Good luck on the night Scott!
