Rags to Riches: The Issa Billionaire Brothers’ Journey to the ASDA Empire | S1EP45
Description
On this week's episode, host Alex reflects on the recent publishing of the British Sunday Times Rich List which included the Blackburn billionaires that rank a respective 32nd position.
Alex covers the remarkable journey of the Issa brothers from purchasing their first petrol station in Bury for £150,000 to becoming billionaires worth £6 billion. Their entrepreneurial story demonstrates how two brothers from working-class Blackburn built an international business empire spanning 9 countries with nearly 6,000 sites and 44,000 employees. We also look into their involvements at ASDA and Euro Garages and what the future could look like.
