Statement re Matthew Maxwell Scott

‘It is with profound sadness that we have to share that our CEO, Matthew Maxwell Scott, passed away suddenly at the weekend.

‘Matthew was a highly respected and highly popular figure throughout the consumer legal industry and beyond. A champion of consumer rights and access to justice, he was a persuasive and energetic voice in Westminster and beyond with his work for the Association of Consumer Support Organisations and, latterly, as the CEO of our organisation.

‘We have all lost a friend and a colleague who still had so much more to achieve but our thoughts right now are with his wife, his two sons and family for whom this loss will be far greater. They have lost a devoted husband, a proud father and a loving family man.

RIP Matthew. We will miss you terribly.’
