Sir Ian Wood, the visionary behind the global energy giant Wood Group and one of Scotland’s wealthiest ever, has passed away at 84. Starting from a family fishing business, he transformed the company into a £5 billion powerhouse in the North Sea oil industry, earning a knighthood in 1994 and Scotland’s highest honor, the Order of the Thistle. Beyond business, he was a tireless philanthropist, founding The Wood Foundation in 2007 to drive change in East Africa and Scotland through education, conservation, and enterprise. Remembered as a devoted family man and a titan of Scottish business, his legacy lives on through the institutions he built and the countless lives he uplifted.
