Richard Persson

I left Lanson at end of 59 and joined the General Accident insurance company in Plymouth. I left them in '65 and joined Phoenix Assurance. At the end of 1968 I started with my long time business partner Denis Walker the Insurance Brokerage known now as Walker Persson and Spargo Ltd. In between we sold the business to Leslie and Godwin who subsequently became AON from whom we bought our business back again in 1995. We have always been based in Plymouth.

Married my wife Helen in 1966. We have two children, Victoria (born 1972) and George (1977). Victoria has a degree in Business Studies but is concentrating on having babies at present and George is a Trainee Solicitor in Bridgewater.
