origins & evolution

The company takes its name from Mike Schofield who founded the business in York in 1973. In 1982 the then management team acquired the business and continued to develop it up to 2002 when they sold their interest to Accord plc. During that time Schofield & Co Ltd became Schofield Lothian when it purchased a dispute resolution business, MAS Lothian (circa 1996). This set the pattern for the company, which has evolved into a successful Commercial and Project Management Consultancy.

During the Accord tenure, it became integrated as a strategic corporate entity, maintaining its core values and diverse client base whilst at the same time contributing meaningfully to group objectives. Accord plc was purchased by Enterprise plc in October 2007 to form a substantial corporation with a turnover in excess of £1 billion. Schofield Lothian then became an operational business within the Support Services of Enterprise (AOL) Ltd.

In 2008 ideas were explored to consolidate the independence of Schofield Lothian, leading to a decision to reinstate the business as a separate legal entity and de-merge from Enterprise. On 19th March 2009, an Assisted Management Buy Out was effected and the new entity of Schofield Lothian Limited became fully operational.
