Business interests

Mancroft acts as 'strategic counsel' and sits on the board of the Fleurette Group, which holds Congolese mining interests and is affiliated with Israeli mining magnate Dan Gertler.[1]

In June 2014, Mancroft hosted a cocktail reception at Westminster for lawmakers and businessman for Gertler's family foundation, which aims to help rape victims.

When questioned by the Wall Street Journal about the event, the peer described himself as 'incorruptible', because he has 'nothing to sell'.[1]
