Scott Watson, son of the founders of Watson’s Engraving and Signage in Dundas, Ontario, started his career as a cabinetmaker. After training in a local sign shop, he joined his parents in their engraving business, adding “signage” to their offerings. “That’s when things really started happening for us,” said Watson.
