| Abstract: | Wood is chairman, managing director and majority shareholder of the John Wood Group. He is also Scotland's leading entrepreneur and one of the country's most prominent industrialists. Over the past thirty years he has transformed what was a tiny family business into the UK's biggest indigenous oil-services company. The story of the metamorphosis of the John Wood Group is a story of vision, ambition, opportunism and determination, laced with a healthy dose of caution and good sense, and underpinned by sheer hard work. |
