For our final meeting of the year for the school’s Entrepreneurship Society, we are delighted to welcome Aidan Heavey, founder and CEO of the FTSE-100 firm Tullow Oil. Colleagues who would like to come to this event are extended a warm welcome. From nothing, Heavey has built Tullow Oil into Africa’s leading independent oil company, operating in 22 countries. It is one of the fastest growing businesses in the world and is making major investments in South America. Tullow Oil last week announced record financial results with an annual profit before tax of over $1billion

Aidan Heavey is among the world’s most successful oil exploration executives and has enjoyed some of the biggest paydays seen at a stock market-listed company. Aidan is a director of Traidlinks, an Irish-based charity established to develop and promote enterprise and diminish poverty in the developing world, particularly Africa.

The meeting takes place at 8-40pm on Tuesday 24th April
