Shell LiveWIRE Timeline

In 1982, Shell LiveWIRE launches in the Strathclyde region of Scotland. Today, Shell LiveWIRE is a leader in delivering specialist advice and support to enterprising young people.



Shell LiveWIRE now spans more than 20 countries across five continents. The programme's global reach, coupled with its local roots, has achieved remarkable results. For instance, a small not-for-profit organisation that initially offered marketing support to15 local craftswomen in Pakistan now helps more than 2,500 women. And in the UK, a one-man business that started out making a thousand lobster pots a year now produces over a thousand a week and has over 100 employees.
