Derek Cameron

Founder

Derek Cameron first applied Chlorine Dioxide chemistry in 1980 when remediating poorly performing agricultural and food processing units in West Africa. Building on this experience, Derek established Scotmas in 1999 to apply the same Chlorine Dioxide chemistry to a variety of markets around the world.

Derek led the business from its inception, first as Managing Director and more recently as Chairman, and his vision, drive and determination have been fundamental to its continued growth and success.  Derek sold the business and retired in March 2020.
