Ownership / career paths in the dry stock industry – do they exist?

Weir Bruce

Executive Summary

The purpose of this report was to look at opportunities for young managers within the dry stock industry and to determine in my opinion whether there is a clear career path or not. And if there is a path, what does the young manager and the industry as a whole, have to do to ensure the path is visible? To me the future of the dry stock industry (like any industry) is reliant upon attracting and retaining energetic, enthusiastic, passionate and skilled young people.
