Lady Grantchester, Betty Suenson-Taylor (née Betty Moores) is the head of the Moores family and the 84-year-old daughter of Sir John Moores, founder of the Liverpool-based Littlewoods football pools and retailing businesses.
She married Kenneth Bent Suenson-Taylor, 2nd Baron Grantchester on 12 April 1947. As a result of her marriage, Betty Moores was styled as Baroness Grantchester on 2 July 1976. [1]
She was director of Littlewoods between 1977 and 1997.[1] The family started to sell off stores in 1998 and the pools business in 2000; those proceeds and past dividends are worth £445m. Another windfall came in 2002 when the mail order business was sold to the Barclay brothers for £750m. [2]
