Aj Grand-Scrutton

Born in Basildon in 1984, Aj’s family relocated to Witham where he attended Elm Hall Primary School and Rickstones Secondary School. Aj also studied Computer Science at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford and now lives next door to his first home in Witham.
Reflecting on the success of Dlala Studios, Aj believes Essex has been a multi-faceted aid to his and the company’s achievements. He has employed some incredible talent within the county to work with Disney, Rare and Microsoft on games such as ‘Disney Illusion Island’ and ‘Battletoads’. Aj says it surprises people that a games company the size of Dlala Studios is tucked away in Witham and not in a large city.
