Our History
-
David Scott recognized that successful organizations require accurate information to understand their market, reach potential clients, and to stay ahead of the competition. With very little information available in the market to purchase, Mr. Scott and his wife researched, compiled and published the first Scott’s Directory in 1957 – and a Canadian success story was born.
-
When David Scott published the first Ontario Manufacturers Directory, he gave life to a brand of information products that over the following six decades have truly helped hundreds of thousands of subscribers across almost every sector of the Canadian marketplace. We’ve helped countless business people identify and reach their best target audiences – and by facilitating difficult business connections we’ve helped them reach their goals.

Rabiya is very professional and responsive…every time I need her help she always has time for me.

The search function allows us to narrow our search to very specific criteria to give us precise results while also providing us with key information on the business. It has made our outreach process much faster and simpler with easy ways to download and save our search results, and we look forward to continuing their services in future searches
We recently purchased a list that contained 2,200 manufacturers in Ontario with facilities over 33,000 sq ft in size. We were doing old fashioned mail-outs for marketing and have had results better than expected. We are looking at purchasing another list.
I’ve been using Scott’s Directories for more than 10 years now. Great product but the support you get is absolutely amazing. I recommend Bridget Wiley – incredible attitude and the willingness to help the customer no matter what. Thank you Bridget!
My company has been using the Scotts Directory for 30 plus years, first in the Printed edition, CD edition and now the On-Line edition. Scotts has been a valuable tool in expanding our business and an excellent resource for obtaining new companies and names. I would highly recommend purchasing the Scotts Directory for your business.
Rabiya provided my company with excellent service. She went above and beyond by assisting me with a complex migration project. I highly recommend Rabiya/Scott’s Directory to any company.
Easy to deal with. Great communication. It’s easy to isolate a list, and if I need help, they are around to support.
Was a brand new employee about a 10 weeks ago and I could tell that Scott’s Directory had far more bells and whistles than I was using. Decided to give their helpline a try. Upon calling, I was greeted by a kind and bubbly phone assistant named Rabiya. She taught me how to create and save company lists. That action alone saved me a lot of time. She would take a moment at the end of every call to point out a feature I was not familiar with.
