In Episode 15 of The Industry Wave, Paul Sheerin is joined by Russell Borthwick, Chief Executive of Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce and one of Scotland’s leading business voices.
From selling mops door-to-door as a teenager to leading one of the country’s most influential business organisations, Russell shares the experiences that shaped his career, his leadership philosophy, and his deep connection to the north-east of Scotland.
The conversation explores some of the biggest issues facing the region today, including the future of the North Sea, energy security, investment, and the opportunities and challenges of the transition to net zero. Drawing on his experience of economic regeneration in the north-east of England, Russell offers a compelling and pragmatic perspective on what needs to happen to secure the future of Scotland’s energy capital.
Along the way, he reflects on the value of taking chances, embracing constructive challenge, and leading with humility and respect.
And, as with every episode of The Industry Wave, there are a few unexpected stories too—including how a “free weekend” in Newcastle turned into a 22-year chapter of his life.
