About Me

Andrew Currie has been a director at $68 billion (2022 revenue) chemicals giant Ineos since 1999, a year after the company was founded by fellow billionaire James Ratcliffe. The Cambridge University natural sciences grad started his career at BP Chemicals, spending 15 years in technical and managerial roles. He later became a director at Inspec Group, the former parent company of Ineos, until it was acquired by another chemical company in 1998. It's become one of the U.K. shale sector's largest players. Its 600-foot "Dragon Ships" were the first to transport U.S. shale gas into Europe. Ineos acquired two chemicals businesses from BP in 2021 for $5 billion. It formed petrochemical JVs with Sinopec worth more than $7 billion in 2022. In 2023, Ineos acquired $1.4 billion of U.S. onshore oil and gas assets from Chesapeake Energy. Currie derives his fortune from his minority stake in Ineos.
