From Trauma to Triumph – Scott Dwyer’s Mission to Give Back Through Business & Charity

At Hot Stories Cambridge, every speaker brings something special to the table—but few leave the room quite as moved as when Scott Dwyer took the stage.

Scott is not just a business strategist with over 30 years’ experience in facilities management, emergency response, health & safety compliance, and regulatory growth—he is also a man rebuilding his life after surviving a major trauma accident.

Now, using the strength of his recovery and professional expertise, Scott is on a mission to give back—to fellow business owners and to the charity that saved his life: Magpas Air Ambulance.

A Personal Journey That Powers a Public Cause

Scott began by sharing a glimpse into his extraordinary personal story. Three years ago, a traumatic accident left him in and out of a wheelchair. The road to recovery continues, with another two years likely ahead. But instead of slowing down, Scott chose to accelerate forward—with purpose.

In May alone, Scott raised nearly £7,000 for Magpas Air Ambulance, funding the equivalent of two full air missions. Inspired by the overwhelming support and the impact the charity has had on his own life, Scott expanded his challenge:

🚨 From a 100-mile to a 300-mile wheelchair push by 7th September 2025.

This mission isn’t just about physical strength. It’s about mental resilience, community support, and creating real-world impact.

Business Support Meets Fundraising

True to his nature as a mentor and strategist, Scott didn’t stop at fundraising.

He made a generous offer to the room at Hot Stories:

The Power of Community

Scott gave special thanks to Renata Rimkutė, founder of Hot Stories, and Chris Hornby, the photographer who has been documenting his recovery journey from hospital visits to branded campaign materials. This kind of long-term support and connection is what makes Hot Stories not just an event, but a community.

Scott’s story is a reminder that business is about more than numbers. It’s about purpose. It’s about contribution. And most of all—it’s about people.
