In this episode of Taproom Talks, Kenny is joined by Aberdeen legend George Yule, whose career spans from a British Rail apprenticeship and early North Sea oil days to the boardroom.
George shares the profound lessons learned as a young manager dealing with the devastating aftermath of the Chinook helicopter disaster. He recounts his entrepreneurial journey, from the challenges of his first startup, Clean Ocean, during the $9 oil crash, to the explosive success of Dominion Gas, which he built and sold for £34 million in just 16 months.
He also discusses his emotional time as Vice Chairman of Aberdeen FC, his legacy in developing the club’s facilities, and how recent health battles, including cancer and a stroke, have reinforced his unique business perspective.
