“Lifetime will continue to look to grow through acquire new businesses that fit our ethos and principles and we’re excited to have Scottsdale on board.”

Dominic Anderson, director of Scottsdale, added: “Having worked in the same organisation for around 18 years I have seen a few changes in terms of ownership and structure along the way. However, I am more excited about the future now than at any time in the past.
