Employment Record

These trusts had diverse investment goals, investing in AIM-listed businesses with significant growth potential and renewable energy assets.

Stewart led the founding of several other businesses, such as the New Media Marketing and Design Agency Zig-Zag Communications. The firm eventually became the most well-known in Scotland at the time. With the Scottish Television Group, Zig-Zag would print magazines, create brochures, and even shoot and edit TV ads.
Stewart progressed up the entrepreneurial ladder in part by following current trends. For instance, in 1991, he established his facilities in the UK after observing the success of commercial digital photography studios in the US. Stewart assisted many businesses in their transition to the internet era in the 1990s by specializing in interactive CD-ROMs, digital corporate presentations, and data storage/warehousing.

Their ability to deploy their customers' money in a way that will help them develop a more robust portfolio is made possible by the information they share with others.
Experience and Professional Skills
Stewart is a multifaceted professional with a background in various fields, including marketing, publishing, alternative energy, and life settlement assets. He was constantly tracking what was working and what wasn't for each company he was engaged in. His thoughts and counsel assisted in transforming underperforming firms into profitable multimillion-dollar enterprises. While working at Keydata, he bought a regulated company named Fedsure that was in the red, gave it a new name and emphasis, and converted it into a successful multibillion-pound investment company. As a result of the infrastructure and management teams he helped establish, Stewart launched several projects that eventually raised almost 5 billion pounds in investment capital.
Stewart tries to establish order and efficiency before stepping back so the team can work on anything from sales and marketing to client services to financial administration tasks. To reduce conflict and increase production, he is skilled at identifying individuals whose abilities complement one another. During his career, he would find that this ability would provide some of the finest results. Stewart believes that taking on too much responsibility is not the mark of a true leader. It involves determining a company's fundamental "shape" and allowing skilled individuals to fill in the gaps.
Involvement in charity/philanthropy
After his daughter was born with the disease, Stewart Ford Edinburgh founded the Ring Chromosome 20 Charity Trust in 2002. To assist patients who experience ongoing seizures, Stewart also established a medical practice in New York City in 2006. This group still encourages study into and exchange of knowledge about this illness.
The Foundation is doing everything it can to encourage individuals—whether they are families, patients, or healthcare professionals—to discuss therapy's symptoms and outcomes with one another. The more individuals are aware of the condition, the more probable it is that essential insights about how to treat those with the disease best will emerge.
In addition, Stewart plays a significant role in the "Jeeps for Peace" initiative, which distributes 4WD vehicles to Ukraine. They are delivered to the front lines and are utilized to recover injured troops or evacuated civilians. Thus far, Jeeps for Peace supporters have been able to send over 36 Jeeps. At least 100 Jeeps are what he hopes to provide.

He realized in 2007 that he could walk away from day-to-day operations since his personal and corporate assets were in good health.
