Twenty-First Century Irvings"Years after the death of tycoon K.C. Irving, people in New Brunswick use the pronoun 'he' when speaking of the Irving empire, as if it's a man, not a family or a corporation. This book puts many faces to the Irving name, from the earliest days British North America through to the present day. For anyone who has ever wondered who and what's behind that ubiquitous name... here are the answers!" |

Famed Canadian industrialist K.C. Irving has always been considered ground zero of the Irving family empire. And rightly so - when the first Irvings arrived in 1833 from Dumfriesshire, Scotland, they were completely impoverished. Three generations later, the name K.C. Irving hit the Forbes top billionaires list, making K.C. one of the richest men in the world and certainly the most powerful businessperson in Canada.
But there is much more to the Irving story than the fascinating and brilliant K.C. and his immediate legacy. Twenty-First-Century Irvings takes a careful look at both the family foundations upon which this empire was built and the dozen or more individuals who, in the twenty-first century, constitute the future of this important business family.
