The Rise and Fall of the House of Vestey: The True Story of How Britain’s Richest Family Beat the Taxman - and Came to Grief. Until 1991, the Vestey family had virtually disappeared from the news - from being Britain’s wealthiest family they had slipped out of the top ten.
Then they made the headlines again, as the older generation, Sam and Edmund, were kicked out and replaced by 30-year-old Tim. The City said that their old-fashioned ways had cost them their share of the meat market. The House of Vestey looked as though it could go under - a case of “clogs to clogs” in two generations.
Published by Warner (London), the book is currently out of print. Used copies are available from Amazon.
