    David Simm
    1953 – 2026


    We are deeply saddened to announce that David Simm, our founder and Chair, has passed away.

    David’s passion, wisdom, and expertise in engineering shaped Scantime and set a standard for safety and excellence in PLC training. He was an inspiring mentor, a caring father and grandad, and a true leader. The industry is stronger and safer thanks to David’s dedication.

    Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone whose lives he touched. His legacy will guide Scantime for years to come. Share your own memories of David at rememberingdavid@scantime.co.uk
