After school he entered the RMA Sandhurst but his business interests prevented him becoming a regular army officer so he served in the Territorial Army instead. His property enterprise has property in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Oxford, Cambridge, Southampton and Cheshire in addition to 300 acres of Mayfair and Belgravia. He has been described as a reluctant billionaire who preferred charitable and military activities to being a mega property owner.
