| Aberdeen businessman and philanthropist Sir Ian Wood is to follow in the footsteps of Scotland's top politicians and business leaders by delivering the keynote speech at the 2009 Young Professionals in Oil and Gas dinner. The chairman of global energy services company Wood Group will discuss his experiences, spanning more than 40 years, in the global energy industry during the prestigious annual black tie charity event which takes place at the Marcliffe Hotel and Spa in Aberdeen on 8th October 2009. |

Organised by Deloitte and McGrigors, the fifth annual dinner marks the culmination of a series of seminars which provide an information-sharing and networking forum for young people working in the energy sector.
Guests will also hear from award-winning comedian Mark Watson, star of the Radio 4 show ‘Mark Watson makes the World Substantially Better' and frequent panellist on television quiz shows including Never mind the Buzzcocks and Mock the Week.
Educated at Robert Gordon's College, Sir Ian was CEO of global oil services firm Wood Group until 2007. Building the business up over four decades he is one of the most successful businessmen in the UK.
Despite his billionaire status, Sir Ian is renowned for his philanthropy. In 2007 The Wood Family Trust (WFT) was established by him with the help of his immediate family. The aim of WFT is to invest GBP50 million into economic, community and enterprise activities in Sub Sahara Africa and the UK over the next 5 to 10 years.
