Malcolm Scott’s incredible dedication to the city was celebrated at an emotional climax to the Hull Live Business Awards, with a Lifetime Contribution accolade bestowed posthumously.
The chartered surveyor who pushed beyond the realms of property and business to do his best by the region economically and culturally, passed away in September. And honouring his achievements at the end of the night brought the house down on an event that saw 13 individual and company winners crowned.
Receiving her husband's award, wife Alison, joined by their daughter and his former colleagues Lawrence Brown and Tim Powell, said: “It is just such an honour to receive this wonderful award on Malcolm’s behalf. He didn’t like a fuss but he would have loved this, and would have been overwhelmed and overjoyed. Thank you so much.”
