Tom Levitt

A former Member of Parliament (1997-2010), Tom Levitt is the author of The Business of History: Tales and Lessons from Two Centuries of British Commerce and a consultant on responsible and sustainable business. In other words, you’ll be guided by someone who’s seen how decisions are made at the highest level, and who better than anyone knows how Britain’s great companies rose, adapted or fell away. Tom is also the author of the political thriller A Fallen Man and The Courage to Meddle, the ground-breaking biography of Frances Perkins. What’s more, Tom can sign. And because no bio should take itself too seriously, he’s also a long-standing season ticket holder at Brentford FC. Anything else? Yes, a little bird tells me I’ve talked Tom into creating a walk through his old stamping ground: Political Westminster. Provisional title: Insider’s Westminster – Power Unmasked by a Former MP. Provisional subtitle: Politics without the halo – It’s not how it looks on the news. Watch this space.

Guided by a former MP. Not dusty balance sheets or boardroom jargon, but vivid human drama: ambition, invention, hubris, collapse, survival.
