The FWB Leadership Dinner – 14th November 2013

Following last year’s FWB Leadership Dinner with Sir David Tweedie, our 2013 Leadership Dinner will focus on some sectors key to Scotland and within a global context – energy and financial services. This should be particularly relevant later this year as much of the discussion leading up to the Referendum will no doubt focus on these sectors. 

The two sectors we thought would be of much interest would be energy and financial services, and we were keen to have two key figures from each sector, so we are thrilled that Norman Murray and Iain Mackay have agreed to speak jointly on these important areas of business for Scotland globally at a crucial time for our economy.

Norman Murray’s earlier career was in the venture capital industry. He co-founded Morgan Grenfell Private Equity Limited and was also a Director of Morgan Grenfell Asset Management Limited. He is currently Chairman of Petrofac plc and a Non-Executive Director of The Edrington Group Ltd. Until June 2011, he was chairman of Cairn Energy plc, having served on that board for 12 years, and was also until recently a non-executive director of Robert Wiseman Dairies plc and Greene King plc. Norman is a former chairman of the British Venture Capital Association and a past president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland.
