In memoriam: Ian Taylor 1946-2020
Ronel Lehmann is the CEO and founder of Finito Education
Ian Taylor, who died in June of last year, ran Vitol for two decades. He was well-liked in the City not just for his business acumen, but for his philanthropy – which, it was revealed last week, continued after his death.
Bloomberg reported he left £1m to the Royal Opera House and significantly more than that to his family foundation. Ronel Lehmann, who knew Taylor, writes for City A.M. – with the help of two Prime Ministers and a host of City grandees – on Taylor’s life and legacy.
