As a young man Captain Stuart MacBride had dreams of living his life out on the sea.
But with a strong entrepreneurial passion inside him he always knew he wanted to earn enough money to own his own yacht, rather than sail it for someone else.
Now at the age of 77-years-old he heads up Aberdeen-headquartered International Medical Management (IMM), which has a turnover of £1.9 million and team of 36 staff.
Stuart decided to set up IMM with Dr Jean François Foucher and Dr Tarek K Y Mostafa in 2004.
The business provides a range of medical services for offshore and onshore industries.
He said: “We started with one member of staff and now got 36 including offshore workers.”
IMM has won £3m worth of contracts so far this year and has plans to keep expanding staff numbers.
Stuart said: “It’s a good quality nucleus to keep expanding but we are not complacent.”
