Derek Mawhinney: On A Property Crusade To Help An Entire City
Manage episode 299576582 series 1175595
In today's show, we hear the fascinating journey of a fascinating young man called Derek Mawhinney.
And it's a man who freely admits that he has no real interest in property.
For him, property is just a powerful and effective vehicle to enable him to do what he really targets: the bold and noble aim to lift and regenerate his home city of Dundee.
And Derek is managing to do that by combining massive finance with huge projects, and by listening to and working with the local city experts dealing with: mental health issues; drink and drugs abuse; unemployment; council projects and targets; apprenticeship schemes; housebuilders; and the city's business requirements.
And for Derek's special story, we've put together a very special show. One where we not only speak with him in the studio, but then go on a road trip out to physically view one of his massive fascinating projects...
-----
> Listen to the incredible story of how Derek ended up buying the entire office building that he was once sacked inside as a teenager... > Hear how Derek thinks of money, funding, and the economy...
> Listen to Derek paint the picture of his childhood losing his mother at an early age...
