Bernard Kantor: The Investec story - a long way from Mooi St to St Paul's

Loading player...
Here's an interview I've wanted to do for some years. It has been a privilege to have a front row seat to Investec's development, watching it develop into a multinational powerhouse from a tiny start 35 years ago. Co-founder Bernard Kantor works in the block the group's offices occupy near St Paul's in the City of London. He offers a unique insight into the Investec Story, sharing memories from the early days to the secrets which he believes makes the company different - and insights into some of the fascinating personalities insight the group and in its client base. The kind of interview I'll still be enjoying years from now. - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
