Steven Allenby (MD PBS (NW) Ltd, former Director Morrison Homes & Rowland Homes)
"My relationship with Studio Scotland came about by chance when searching desperately for a “can do will do” creative organisation that could grow, develop and work closely with me, often pushing back the boundaries to discover new, exciting and effective creative marketing ideas. The driving force behind every new project was and is Stewart Menelaws, a quiet and sincere individual, who pushes himself to the limits to find the solution. The consistent dedication, the total reliability and the determination to produce the best possible work has to be their mission.
Often , when all others had gone home for the day, or had given up trying, or had produced typically “ run of the mill” work, the team at Studio Scotland kept going, often through the night to ensure that deadlines were achieved and the end result exceeded expectations. Despite their achievements, they have never sat on their laurels. They constantly educate themselves as to new techniques, keeping abreast of technology. Taking personal ownership and a deep sense of pride will ensure that Studio Scotland will always deliver".
Dr Ugo Spano (Managing Director SETRA Ltd)
"Having worked with Studio Scotland before I am 100% sure that the final products threy produce will be excellent. Studio Scotland also tell the best Haggis jokes in the business and make fantastic videos...!!!"
Roz Artis-Young (Director Scottish Lime Centre Trust)
"The Scottish Lime Centre Trust took the decision to enter the digital age by putting some of our training materials on DVD. Our initial toe
in the water experience with a production company was less than satisfactory, resulting in lots of footage but little in the way of direction. On a recommendation from our web designers we opened discussions with Studio Scotland, not without concerns particularly as our first experience was so inconclusive and disappointing. However from the outset, we felt at ease, thought we were in good hands and realised very quickly that the mistakes that had gone before were well understood and would not be repeated.
The reality has proven to be everything we hoped for and considerably more. Working with Studio Scotland has been a breath of fresh air. The delicate way they have handled our shy, nervous crew has been professional to a fault. The results are better than we could ever
have imagined - Talk about chalk and cheese.
There is no substitute for working with professionals and there is no question Studio Scotland are
all of that, they make the whole process easy. Lots of people are nervous in front of a camera, but Studio Scotland staff are patient,
helpful and courteous to a fault, and the results, well, we think they speak for themselves and everyone who has seen the end
result agrees. We intend to make many more DVD's with Studio Scotland in the future, it's been one of the best things we have ever
done."
Thomas Praestegaard (The Four Tenors)
"First of all, a huge round of applause, not only with the amazing quality of the product
but also the incredible speed with which you have made this..."
Irene Hasager (Concert Pianist)

work with a very high artistic standard and very charming! Studio Scotland has done a fantastic job."
Adam Piggot (Creative Director, Red Empire Design)
"Shots are impeccably composed and lit, results are of the highest quality. He
can be relied upon to provide creative and practical solutions to complex briefs, his understanding of different photographic
techniques and extensive knowledge of image manipulation make him very easy to work with."
Steve Christie (Print2000 (Former Photo Agent for Kings Sturge, Rocco & Torrelli)
"Stewart and the team at The Studio have been fantastic for the few
years we've worked together. The quality of their work is of the highest
standard and they have always bent over backwards to accommodate the photography I need done for my clients, often at very short notice. With his design background, Stewart always understands exactly what our clients require first time and I can't recommend them highly enough."
Michel Couvreux ( President ) TransMineral Inc, USA
"The quality, content, and superior instruction are astonishing in these professional Master Stroke DVD Tutorial series. They should be considered the bible for all lime mortar applicators-amateurs and professionals alike."
Keith McAllister (Director) Heritage Stone Restorations PTY Ltd, Australia
"The DVDs are fantastic, of great quality and will be of great use at the expo in Sydney and for our training courses in association with the Master Builders Association and the Construction Industry Training Board."

Geoff Morrison (Marketing Manager - Crieff Hydro Hotel)
"The Studio Scotland team were a pleasure to work with, producing extraordinary results on a set budget and within a tight production schedule. Not only did they show great technological insight
but also a sound understanding of the brief and target audience for each production. We look forward to working with them again in the near future."
Stuart Gray (Sales & Marketing Manager - Knockhill Racing Circuit)
"Able to produce top class results - on time and on budget. The Studio is much, much more than just a creative production company - they are a team of professional individuals who collectively have a tremendous wealth of experience that is reflected in their ability to understand
and execute complex briefs - and they're easy to work with!"
Douglas Johnston (Technical Advisor - St. Astier Limes)
"From the very beginning of my involvement with producing and distributing traditional building materials a little over 20 years ago, it became apparent that there was a skills and knowledge gap in relation to traditional building practice.Working with a number of organisations to try and bridge this gap for at least the last 15 years has only been marginally successful and along with a number of colleagues of a like mind, it became apparent that we really needed to do something more radical to try and change the way training was being carried out.
Due to our previously very successful working relationship with Studio Scotland Ltd on a couple of other related subjects, we took the decision in conjunction with them to create a base of knowledge based DVD’s aimed specifically at our target market.
This format, established in conjunction with Studio Scotland Ltd marketing expertise demonstrated that through training and product placement, we could easily be in a position to radically change the knowledge base of the industry in a time scale we would have considered unimaginable a few years ago.
It’s a joy to work with seasoned, innovative professionals who know what is important for a successful production and can deliver the goods on time."
Nikki Bruce (Project Manager - Thistle Foundation)
"We invited three companies to tender for the making of a short marketing film for accredited training courses delivered by Thistle.
We made a good choice, going with Studio Scotland Ltd! Stewart Menelaws, as our main contact, was unfailingly patient and helpful, as we dithered on occasions, unable to make decisions and often changing our minds later! We were welcome to be fully involved at each stage of the filming and editing process, which meant we learned loads! Nothing was too much of a problem for Stewart, creative ideas flowed, and drafts were delivered in good time.
We have ended up with a fantastic film which we are very proud to show to potential students and employers. Many thanks for a job well done, it was great working with the Studio Scotland Ltd and we would be happy to recommend your services to anyone."
Sarah Morrison (Wider Access Development Officer)
"The idea behind ‘Role on to Success’ was to produce a film that would show young people
attending one of our target schools that going to college and university is a real possibility for them, and to inspire them to consider
these as options. RO2S was a challenging film to produce, as we first had to identify current undergraduates and recent graduates from
partner colleges and universities who had attended a LIFT OFF target school, and then liaise with them and Studio Scotland to produce a film
timetable that was practical and cost-effective.
Studio Scotland was fantastic to work with. They really listened to us and got behind the concept
immediately. The team were keen to hear our ideas, and would incorporate these where possible, but were also very practical and kept our feet
on the ground with regard to what was the most practical way forward that would keep us within budget.
We are delighted with the final product, which has already proven to be a powerful tool in delivering the
LIFT OFF message to young people. We would highly recommend Studio Scotland to others and would not hesitate to work with them again in the
future."
Lynne McNicoll (Appeal Co-Ordinator) Teenage Cancer Trust
"On behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust, thank you very much for your help in producing our new Remember
Zoe DVD. It really has made such a difference already to our presentations and I am most grateful to you for your help. Once
again… thank you so much for your amazing work on the DVD; it is a wonderful tribute to Zoe – I very much appreciate your
help."
Donald Dallas (Author for Holland & Holland, Purdie & Boss International gun makers)
"Absolutely first class, stunning photography... in the latest book for International gun makers - Boss, images were shot by leading gun photographers, but the Images created by Stewart Menelaws were used as centre piece spreads - his work is simply top class and he is my first choice when I need quality."
Steven Ogg (Director Garden Plan-it)
"We are absolutely delighted, totally impressed with the service and the incredible results - business has increased 10 fold! Customers tell us after viewing our site they don't bother going anywhere else... all I can say is, you have been a real God Send for our company."
Lorraine Hume (Sales & Marketing Manager)
"The Studio has consistently provided Highmore Homes with high quality and innovative work in all aspects of the services
provided - an absolute joy to work with."
