The Team
Who we are
Scott Rigden
Co-Founder & Managing Director
Scott has an Honours Degree in Building Surveying and is a Chartered Building Surveyor and MD of a Surveying and Architectural practice based in Kent.
With 35 years experience in the construction industry as a Building Control Surveyor and Chartered Surveyor, property developer, as well as landlord and short term letting host, Scott has gained a high level of knowledge and experience regarding property and development related legislation, including the Building & Housings Acts and the Building Regulations, Fire Safety and Health & safety at Work legislation, advising Education, Public sector and private clients through the development and property management process.
Scott has identified a significant shortfall in the short term rental market where hosts may not be aware of the impending legislative and compliance requirements to protect their properties, born from his own landlord perspective and developed into the independent property registration platform – SafeUKation
Dr Simon Perrott
Co-Founder & Technical Director
Simon has a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and a BEng in Electronic Engineering.
With over 30 years’ experience in designing and developing enterprise class Unix/Linux servers, Simon started as a software engineer in the Power Generation sector developing remote condition monitoring systems for generators. He went on to successfully perform senior design and development roles within the demanding Telecommunications and Finance sectors for some large well-known organisations.
A self-motivated and creative engineer with a passion for anything technical, Simon is driven by the challenge of solving problems or improving existing processes and consequently conceived and created the SafeUKation system to address the issues of property compliance within the short term rental market.
