Scot Pearce

In this episode, we meet Scot Pearce, Operations Manager of Water to Waste Plumbing and Drainage. Scot’s career demonstrates the value of both entrepreneurship and community. Having started and run his own businesses, he knows the realities of small business ownership — the challenges, risks, and rewards of building something from the ground up.

But Scot is also a firm believer in the power of networks. Through his involvement in Business West, BNI, and Master Plumbers, he has built relationships that have fuelled collaboration and opportunity. He explains how connections don’t just generate business, but also provide support, shared learning, and long-term partnerships.

Scot also brings governance and leadership experience, serving on boards and committees where he contributes to strategic decision-making and advocates for continuous professional development. He shares why lifelong learning is so important for today’s leaders, and how staying adaptable ensures relevance in a fast-changing world.

This episode captures Scot’s philosophy: success is never just about individual effort, but about the relationships and learning that sustain businesses through every stage of growth.
