Rising from a family fishing business to building a global energy services empire in the North Sea, Sir Ian shaped Scotland’s modern economy and championed Aberdeen’s growth. Beyond business, he devoted his life to empowering communities through The Wood Foundation, focusing on education, enterprise, and social impact — with lasting influence in Scotland and East Africa. Tributes poured in from First Minister John Swinney, who hailed him as one of Scotland’s most influential leaders, and Robert Gordon University, where his leadership as Chancellor helped shape its future — including the iconic Sir Ian Wood Building. His life was defined by purpose, innovation, and an unwavering belief in creating opportunity for others. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
