They built their empire from a Bury petrol station and in just over two decades Mohsin and Zuber Issa have gone from the humble beginnings of a terraced house in Lancashire to self-made billionaires.
The billionaire brothers were brought up by Indian-born Vali and Zubeda who came to the UK from Gujarat in the 1960s to work in the textile industry. Their parents later ran a petrol pump which no doubt sparked the inspiration behind the creation of Euro Garages by Mohsin and Zuber in 2001.
After buying their first petrol station in Bury, the two brothers embarked on their ambitious Euro Garages empire-building journey. Aside from their majority ownership of Asda, completed in 2020, annual sales from Euro Garages exceeded €20 billion in 2021.
