Scot Young



From Rags to Riches - In 1955 Scot Young was in business cleaning windows and floors, now his Products are manufactured in three separate areas of the World, West Midlands UK, Missouri USA and Ningbo China.

In the Beginning 1954 to 1984 - It all began when Scot Young emigrated to Canada in 1954 and started a Window Cleaning Company in Toronto to be followed by an Internal Building Cleaning Company. He then returned to open the first UK Branch in Glasgow Scotland, his home town and Manchester, England. Explosive expansion followed when branches opened in Western Canada and London. 1975 saw branch operations in Jersey, Channel Islands and Birmingham England. In 1982 all SYR Service Companies employing over 5000 workers throughout the world were sold.
The Switch from Service to Manufacturing began! 1985

Switching to manufacturing after 30 years in the contract cleaning industry is a bone chilling experience. From the very first day SYR’s manufacturing operation was permanently influenced by its service roots to cleaning.
Invention is a major aspect that clearly separates SYR from each and every one of its competitors throughout the World. INNOVATION IS DIFFICULT - INVENTION IS MUCH MORE integrating this with service is utterly UNIQUE.
New products introduced were as much corrections of faults known to exist as they were inventions and innovations. This same philosophy exists throughout the company to the present day. 48 patents and 780 inter-connected innovations give SYR a head and shoulders lead over any other of its competitors small or large, throughout the World.
Within fifteen years SYR’s INNOVATION, INVENTION and DEVELOPMENT proceeded at such a rate that all main competition in the UK was reduced to a secondary position.
