Scott Reid Honoured as Traditional Craftsperson of the Year at Hilton Birmingham
The Guild of Master Craftsmen is proud to celebrate the incredible success of Scott Reid, founder of Stratum Masonry in Glasgow, whose exceptional skills and commitment to traditional stonemasonry have been recognised on a national stage.
At the prestigious On the Tools Awards in November 2024, held at the Hilton Hotel in Birmingham, Scott was named Traditional Craftsperson of the Year. This highly sought-after accolade highlights his outstanding craftsmanship and dedication to using time-honoured techniques. Against stiff competition from many talented tradespeople across the UK, Scott’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail ensured his well-deserved win. The award marks yet another high point in his career, following his Special Recognition Award at the same event in 2023.
Stratum Masonry, the company Scott founded based in Glasgow, is deeply rooted in his family’s long-standing tradition of stonemasonry. Passed down through generations, this wealth of knowledge and expertise is evident in every project undertaken by Scott and his team. Stratum Masonry prides itself on combining traditional materials and methods with modern technology, ensuring that heritage restoration and new builds alike are completed to the highest standards.
In addition to his win in Birmingham, Scott was also recognised closer to home in October 2024 by the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, who awarded him the ‘Inspiring Future Talent’ commendation. This accolade was presented in recognition of his commitment to encouraging young people to enter the field of stonemasonry. By actively mentoring and promoting the craft to the next generation, Scott ensures the continuation of skills vital to the restoration and preservation of Scotland’s historic buildings.
Over his 15+ years in the industry, Scott has built a small but highly skilled team that has worked on numerous Grade A and B listed buildings across Scotland. From historic facades to intricate stone repairs, Stratum Masonry has become synonymous with quality and reliability, earning the trust of clients seeking excellence in traditional craftsmanship.
Scott’s passion for the craft, paired with his dedication to client satisfaction, has made Stratum Masonry a standout name in the field. His recognition at the Hilton Birmingham is a testament to the company’s success and the trust it has earned through hard work and consistent delivery of exceptional results. The Guild of Master Craftsmen congratulates Scott and the entire Stratum Masonry team on their continued achievements.
