Peter de Putron is a banker who lives in Guernsey and is the brother-in-law of UK financial services minister Andrea Leadsom. He is the founder of De Putron Fund Management.
He has donated £816,000 to the Conservative party since Leadsom first successfully ran for parliament at the 2010 election. [1]
Donations
- Andrea Leadsom - payments were made to her directly through UK-registered companies controlled by de Putron: Gloucester Research, which changed its name to GR Software & Research, then to Trenchant, and now trades under yet another name, G-Research. Leadsom's husband, Ben Leadsom, is a director.[1]
Before being elected Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire in 2010, Leadsom was Managing Director of De Putron Fund Management between 1997 and 1999.[2] Using data gathered by the Washington-based organisation the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a July 2014 report by The Guardian found that her brother-in-law Peter de Putron had donated £816,000 to the Conservative Party since 2010. [1]
- Open Europe - de Putron has made a total of £680,000 in donations to this right-wing think tank through G-research.[1]
