Summary
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.

A very thought provoking read
A very thought provoking read. I am a single parent who as a result of reading this book have now had more serious conversations with my 13 year old daughter about aiming for university study not only in the UK - also the USA.
I also run a small start up business & am now considering ways to be philanthropic for the future. It’s early days for my business & Covid & Brexit have created serous challenges yet I am researching some ideas to offer time to some causes that have played an important role in my life.
Thank you very much Sir Peter for the inspiration!
