Doughty completed his Cranfield MBA in 1984 and became a Distinguished Alumnus of the Cranfield School of Management in 2004.[2] He made a personal donation in 2006 to establish the Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility at Cranfield School of Management.[3] He was also President of The Cranfield Trust.[4] Doughty was a Trustee of the Doughty Family Foundation[5] and the Doughty Hanson Charitable Foundation.[6]

Doughty bought control of Nottingham Forest F.C. for £11 million in 1999.[10] After sacking Steve McClaren as Forest manager in October 2011, Doughty announced his decision to step down as Forest chairman by the end of the 2011–12 season.[11] Doughty's son Michael is a professional footballer.
