When Appleton resident Scott Brierley was 15 he cycled to a timber yard in the rain to ask for a Saturday job. Fast forward seven years and he is now the co-owner of Rowswood Timber Ltd on Hatton Lane with entrepreneur Stuart Tudor. The 22-year-old’s success story is down to hard work and determination as well as a keen interest in working with his hands, after using his dad’s tools to make a planter for his nan when he was younger. It was during his final year at Bridgewater High School that the teenager started brushing up and stacking shelves at the yard during evenings and at weekends and he continued his studies at Appleton College.
