Amanda Staveley
Amanda Louise Staveley (born 11 April 1973 near Ripon, North Yorkshire, England〔〔〔) is a British businesswoman notable chiefly for her connections with Middle Eastern investors. In 2008 Staveley played a prominent role in the investment of £7.3 billion in Barclays by the ruling families of Abu Dhabi and Qatar, and by the Qatari sovereign wealth fund.〔Blackhurst, Chris. ("Amanda Staveley: a profile of the Barclays bank deal maker" ), ''This is Money'', 5 November 2008. Retrieved 20 February 2011.〕 Staveley’s firm, PCP Capital Partners, acted for Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the Abu Dhabi royal family, who invested £3.5 billion to control 16 per cent of the bank. The deal was reported to have earned PCP Capital Partners a commission of £110 million, which, after paying advisers, represented a profit of £40 million.〔Waples, John. ("Golden girl Amanda Staveley paid £40m by Barclays" ), ''The Sunday Times'' (London), 2 November 2008. Retrieved 20 February 2011.〕〔Thompson, James. ("Staveley banks a £40m bonanza for brokering Barclays' Abu Dhabi deal" ), ''The Independent'' (London), 3 November 2008. Retrieved 11 March 2011.〕 Staveley was also involved in Sheik Mansour's high profile purchase of Manchester City Football Club in September 2008.〔
Staveley, who once described herself as "a dealmaker at heart",〔Pagano, Margareta. "Amanda Means Business", ''The Mail on Sunday'', 5 September 2004. (Link to the article on InfoTrac National Newspapers Database (requires login). ) Retrieved 21 February 2011.〕 told ''The Guardian'' newspaper in 2008: "I'm just grateful to have been given the opportunities I've had so far. It's not about money — it wouldn't matter if I was making £8 million or £200 million. I just want to go to bed at night and say I've done a good job."〔Teather, David. ("Interview: Amanda Staveley" ), ''The Guardian'' (London), 7 November 2008. Retrieved 21 February 2011.〕
==Early life and education==
Staveley was born in Yorkshire and in adulthood retained her Yorkshire accent.〔 She is the daughter of Robert Staveley, a North Yorkshire landowner who founded the Lightwater Valley theme park, where Staveley waitressed as a child; her mother, Lynne, was an occasional model and champion showjumper.〔〔 Staveley spent much of her childhood with her maternal grandparents. Her grandfather, Ralph Raper, made a fortune running a chain of betting shops, including "the biggest illegal betting shop in the North" in a Doncaster cellar where takings sometimes reached £10,000 a day. They later owned Doncaster dog track and profited further from investment in land and stocks. "He taught me everything", Staveley said. "I am always asking myself what he would do in a certain situation."〔〔Levy, Geoffrey and Kay, Richard. ("'Marry Randy Andy? I'd rather make £50m'" ), ''Daily Mail'' (London), 10 November 2008. Retrieved 20 February 2011.〕
Staveley was educated at Queen Margaret's School, York. She admitted to having lots of drive as a child and competed in showjumping and athletics. She ran 12.6 seconds for the hundred metres at the age of 14, before a snapped Achilles tendon ended her involvement in the sport. At the age of 16, Staveley left school and enrolled at a crammer, taking her A-levels in a single year〔 and winning a place to read modern languages at St Catharine's College, Cambridge. As a student she worked as a model to supplement her income.〔 Staveley abandoned her degree after ending up in hospital suffering from stress after the death of her grandfather.〔
