Audience with property tycoon, entrepreneur, serial investor and philanthropist, PETER VIRDEE

Seva (the concept of selfless service) and undeniable humility are two words that best describe property tycoon, entrepreneur, serial investor and philanthropist, Professor Peter Virdee, our esteemed guest for July 2024. Peter captivated club members with his inspiring rags to riches story of how the boy from Birmingham went on to achieve unparalleled success in business. Despite his dapper appearance, the man behind the Italian suit is humble, crediting his success to God and the people around him.

Peter shared candidly about his business journey and personal life, his words were authentic and stories vulnerable. He leads by example, fully embodying the ethos of Sikhism, a remarkable example of how personal success can be used for the greater good of others. Despite his celebrity rolodex, when asked to “name four people” he would have at his dream dinner party, his response was “I would have my late mother, four times over” – what more can we say about the DNA of one of the UK’s most successful businessmen.
