Oliver Jessel

Oliver Richard Jessel (24 August 1929 - 21 June 2017) was a New Zealand born British businessman who through Jessel Securities owned the Demerara Sugar Company, P&O, the steel companies Firth Brown and Johnsons, and the financial services company France Fenwick. In 1968 he acquired London Indemnity & General Insurance which proved to be his downfall when he was forced to liquidate his fortune to support the firm after heavy redemption of its products by savers.[1]

Jessel's younger brother, Toby, was a Member of Parliament. His younger sister, Camilla, was the wife of the Polish-born composer Andrzej Panufnik.
