Steve Grayson speaking at the EAGB lunch

Join us for lunch April 16th at the Dorchester with Steve Grayson

Born in 1947, Steve Grayson was raised in poverty in a post war London slum. Dyslexic and poorly educated, he used his innate wits and gift of the gab to find his way in the world, escape poverty and go on to build a highly successful business, which he then lost.

Following bankruptcy, he pursued his love of photography and found success once more, this time in the ruthlessly competitive newspaper industry as an investigative photojournalist, where his ability to think on his feet got him into, and out of, situations ranging from farcical to life threatening.

A Survivor First Class, he made his own luck, created his own opportunities and often taught himself whatever he needed to know along the way. He also looked life squarely in the eye when it heaped misfortune upon him. Not once but twice, he lost everything, faced the poverty he thought he had left behind and fought his way back.

He has been a rascal all his life … but a rascal with a very big heart, and an artistic one: this same man has a piece of sculpture on permanent display in NATO. He has scaled the heights and plumbed the depths, and still comes up smiling with a quip always at the ready. With engaging honesty and in his own forthright style he regales his audience with head-spinning stories from the horror of war torn Bosnia to the comedy of hiding in a rubber plant!

Steve is about to release his much sought after autobiography which is being published by Kavanagh Tipping Publishing.

Steve lives in North London with his wife Jeannette, and they share their home with an awesome Cocker Spaniel of great personality called Sunny.
