Title: Meet Martyn Arbib Post by: Luci on Friday, January 11, 2008, 13:55:40 Quote WITH a £370 million fortune Henley’s Sir Martyn Arbib and his family are among the most wealthy people in the country, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. Sir Martyn was placed 70th in the list of the top 1,000 richest published by the newspaper last Sunday. The trustee and major benefactor of the River & Rowing Museum, Henley, amassed many of his millions in the town with Perpetual, a fund management company he started with two phones and a secretary, and sold six years ago for £1.05 billion. The 66-year-old, who was knighted in 2003, divides his time between homes in Henley and Barbados. Reportedly worth £95 million more than last year he has risen five places on the list.

Title: Meet Martyn Arbib Post by: SWINRICH on Friday, January 11, 2008, 14:44:22 Sir Martyn Arbib (born 1940) is a British businessman who led the Perpetual fund management company very successfully during the late 20th century, unusually based in Henley-on-Thames, England rather than London.
He sold the company to the fund manager AMVESCAP in 2001 for more that £1 billion, receiving £113m together with AMVESCAP shares worth £300m, and the company became known as Invesco Perpetual. Arbib was a major benefactor in the establishment of the River and Rowing Museum at Henley, which opened in 1998. He was knighted in 2003. In his spare time, he is interested in horse racing. His horse Snurge won the St. Leger Stakes in 1990. As well as Henley, he also has a home in Barbados. On 11th January 2008 Swindon Town Holdings Limited which Sir Martyn Arib is a director took control of Swindon Town FC. WIKKIPEDIA-QUITE INTERESTING!!!!

I thought that but there did not seem to be any trace of Diamandis or Holt's name anywhere near it, part of a multi-million pound consortium Title: Meet Martyn Arbib Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, January 11, 2008, 16:39:52 Quote from: "Power to people" Martyn has donated £2m to the building costs of a Chelsea education Accademy Lives in Ramsbury Donated £100,000 to the Conservative Party Patron of NSPCC His son Ben is a director of Intuition Capital another financial organisation In 2006 Ben Arbib was part of a consortium that bought the Sportsman Newspaper Sounds like the whole family are minted....fantastic This would be the same newspaper that Diamandis tried to buy?

No, it went into administration and Diamandis and Holt were brought in to "rescue" it by the administrator, guess who, Andrew Andronikou. With predictable consequences - it folded three months later with the loss of 60 jobs Title: Meet Martyn Arbib Post by: thepeoplesgame on Friday, January 11, 2008, 17:02:22 Okay, I went and read about The Sportsman business in the Press Gazette and apologise for scaremongering. Ben Arbib helped launch the paper while Diamandis and Holt helped kill it. I wonder which poor company they've set their sights on now? Not one that anyone here works for, I hope.
