THE GUARDIAN: Billionaire, who owned newspaper titles with his twin brother Frederick, fell ill recently
Sir David Barclay, one of the two billionaire brothers who own the Telegraph newspaper group, has died unexpectedly after a short illness, aged 86.
Working in partnership with his identical twin, Frederick, the pair became two of the most successful British businessmen of their time, venturing into hotels, shipping, retail and newspaper ownership over several decades.
In a statement on his brother’s death, Sir Frederick Barclay said: “It was a great journey in everything that we did. The good, the bad, the ugly … we experienced it, from being bombed out of our beds in Coventry to the deals that we made and the ones that got away.
“We were twins from the beginning until the end. He was the right hand to my left, and I was his left hand to his right. We’ll meet again.” » | Jessica Murray | Wednesday, January 13, 2021
