The candid tale of one of Britain’s most outstanding contemporary philanthropists.
These pages wryly track Peter’s varied career moves, from flogging tickets for one of The Beatles first major concerts, to getting inadvertently caught up in a New York family turf war while trying to buy a treated wood company.
However, at the book’s heart is a serious mission to present a clear and galvanising case for strategic philanthropy, crucially with the founding of educational charity, The Sutton Trust.
Partly an inspiring memoir, partly an impassioned call to action for social mobility and educational equality, Peter Lampl’s autobiography describes how a self-made entrepreneur amassed a fortune and then chose to use it to help others.
‘Peter Lampl embodies the great truth that those in a position to make a difference should do so.’ Michael Bloomberg
‘Using his private wealth to advance the public interest, Peter Lampl has transformed the opportunities available to thousands of young people and changed the way we think about social mobility.’ Gordon Brown
