Scotland's new entrepreneurs

Article Abstract:

Scotland still produces a good number of successful new entrepreneurs contrary to the widespread misconception elsewhere that the entrepreneurial tradition associated with Scotland is slowly disappearing. Examples of well-known, risk-taking Scottish entrepreneurs who have succeeded in a big way are Tom Farmer, who built up the widely admired Kwik-Fit group; David Murray, who succesfully expanded his steel industry holdings into a business group with extensive interests in the petroleum industry; Brian Sloater, who launched a multinational bus transportation group and Gerard Eadie, who has built up an impressive presence in the double glazing business.
