Aberdeen became the first city outside Dubai to
host the first ever European Oil Barons’ Ball
branded the event of the year. The Press and
Journal in association with Pipeline magazine in
Dubai presented the largest social event of 2007 at
the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre on
Saturday the 18th of August.
Organised by George Walker Events this sparkling
gala dinner brought together more than 1400 Energy
sector professionals and guests from right across
the globe. This formal event included a stunning
set, top class live music from Motown giants the
Drifters and the Four Tops, and the crowning of the
first European Oil Baron.
Tom Smith, joint Chairman of Oil and Gas UK and
Managing Director of telecommunications specialist
Nessco, picked up the coveted title and was
deservingly crowned European Oil Baron in 2007.
