The 1975 – 11.5M GBP
No, we are not talking about the year. We are talking about the Manchester pop rock band that was first formed in 2002. There is no way you could have avoided hearing their breakthrough hit “Chocolate” since it dominated the pop charts across the country. Matthew Healy, the frontman, has become an icon of sorts in the contemporary pop scene. Their most recent album is called A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships and saw plenty of success. Their next album is slated for release this May 2019.
Ian Wood – 2B GBP
Ian Wood went into the family business after he graduated from university. Back then, the Wood Group was a pretty small energy company operating in the North Sea. However, things changed as Wood went up the ladder. He was able to transform it into a global powerhouse, and the company soon threatened both small and big rivals until they run operations in 50 countries! In 2002, the company entered the London Stock Exchange. The business continues to make waves in the energy industry.
