  • SWS Significant Projects
    SWS Significant Projects Ronnie: Comment. 1. My checker showed spelling and spacing issues. At start I corrected some then changed to showing them as [? Gap etc] or my understanding of the correct spelling [eg Jencks not Jenks]. It might be easier to download this copy to accept or reject changes. 2. Some Irish Job names showed as errors. My system should have all the correct names from other work I have done. Check or leave it until I get back from holiday. 3. I am happy with your choice of ‘significance’. 4. I have added names of key staff [where I know them] and highlighted where I think we should try to add names or at least indicate that there were others who should be acknowledged. Regards, Jim. 14 July 2014. This table attempts to record significant projects carried out by Scott Wilson in the operational areas which became the responsibility of Scott Wilson Scotland (comprising Scotland, North of England, Northern Ireland and Ireland). Prior to the formation of SWS, projects were carried out by the UK Partnership. There is no simple definition of a significant Project. Whilst large projects can easily fall into this category, I have also included projects which added to the geographic and technical expansion of the firm. I have also included projects which created a stream of commissions. In part, the data in itself provides a detailed history of the development of SWS over the years. The data has been taken from job number lists which were obtained from archive catalogues. This data appears very comprehensive from 1971 to 2001.
