David Garrard
Sir David Eardley Garrard is a retired British property developer.
Minerva
In 1986 Garrard invited Andrew Rosenfeld to join him at Land Investors and the two of them left in 1989 to set up their own company Minerva. Minerva is valued at over £500 million.[1]
Loan to the Labour Party
In 2006 it was revealed Garrard had loaned the Labour Party £2.3 million. He was part of a list which included Richard Caring, Lord Sainsbury, Rod Aldridge, Chai Patel, Andrew Rosenfeld and Barry Townsley who had 'loaned' nearly £14million to the party. The move towards transparency came from a combination of pressure from the other parties and plans to introduce a new law banning secret loans to parties. A number of those who provided the party with loans were also nominated for peerages.[2]
