Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Russell Borthwick has appeared as a guest on Scottish Engineering sector podcast The Industry Wave.
The episode, which went live this morning, sees Russell join host Paul Sheerin to discuss some of the biggest challenges, and opportunities, facing the region today.
The conversation explores the future of the North Sea, energy security, investment, and the transition to net zero.
With experience of economic regeneration in the north-east of England as well, Russell offers a pragmatic perspective on what must happen to secure the future of Aberdeen and the wider Grampian region.
Paul also unpicks Russell's career journey, from selling mops door-to-door as a teenager to leading one of the country's most influential business organisations, and the chapters and experiences that shaped his career.
The Industry Wave, which is brought to you by Scottish Engineering, is a platform championing the innovation and growth that is helping to shape the engineering landscape in Scotland for years to come.
