Robin Scott was born in beautiful Wensleydale at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park which is found in the North of England.

Robin spent his formative years in Leyburn, at the Wensleydale School to GCSE level before moving to Richmond School.

Following a year spent managing The Green Dragon Inn (home of England’s highest above ground waterfall) Robin moved to Newcastle University to read law in 2003.

It was while an undergraduate at Newcastle that Robin first entered the world of e-commerce during his free time to provide additional income to bolster the meagre amount provided by the Student Loans Company.

Robin began selling a number of products and services via online auction websites using a variety of automation techniques and quickly migrated to selling his ideas in the form of ebooks and email subscriptions via the newly begun 24 Hour Trading website: the name indicative of his desire to sell ’round the clock’.

One of the services Robin launched in 2004, Systemlays UK, won him the Newcastle University Enterprise Challenge 2006 Award overall prize for Business Viability in addition to their award for Achievement in E-Commerce. Systemlays UK still operates as part of 24 Hour Trading’s ever growing network of interest-based websites.

In 2006, following his graduation from Newcastle, Robin flew to Australia for a year abroad, during which he worked for major law firms in Brisbane as well as continuing to develop the online business at 24 Hour Trading by working on a number of successful web development projects for third parties while living in Melbourne, Sydney and latterly the Adelaide Hills region.

At the end of 2008, Robin welcomed Linda Haywood as a partner before offering Jonathan Farrington, with whom Robin worked on a number of projects in Australia, a role within the partnership, changing 24 Hour Trading into the partnership it is today.

When not dealing with partnership business, Robin currently divides his time between business development at Deal 85 & Your-Story.org and editing The Global Herald where he can focus on words and writing while still using and improving his technical web development knowledge. Robin’s music website, Remix.vg – the busiest and best of its kind in the world – or on a football pitch, is where you will find him in his rare moments of free time.

Robin Scott became a director of 24 Hour Trading Ltd on 23rd July 2010.
