@PhilHayYEP: I emailed Peak6 recently. CEO Brad Goldberg: "We think highly of LUFC but we currently have no interest, relationship, or plans to invest."

Cortese plots Leeds takeover from Cellino


NICOLA CORTESE, the former Southampton chairman and mastermind of the club’s rise from League One, is eyeing a takeover of Leeds United.

Cortese is considering an attempt to buy out Massimo Cellino, the controversial Italian who presides at Elland Road. He believes that Leeds, who won 3-0 at Huddersfield yesterday, could be a leading force in English football again and are ripe for the kind of transformation he effected upon Southampton.

Cellino is thought to want about £40m but informed observers believe that his 75% controlling stake is worth very significantly less than this — particularly given that Leeds don’t own their stadium or training ground. On Thursday, Cellino withdrew an offer he’d made last week to sell the club to fans – the latest piece of contradictory behaviour in his tenure.

@JNorthcroft: @sport_simon @tonypdickinson He's interested - but who can tell if Cellino really wants to (sensibly) negotiate a sale

@JNorthcroft: @MOT_DAN If Cellino wants to exit and is prepared to be sensible about price/negotiations, I'd say it'll happen. But that could be a big if.

@JNorthcroft: @lufcThommo Likely to see if deal with Cellino first then raise the £ from investors or one backer. Told he'd have no probs doing that.

@JNorthcroft: @WACCOE @lufcThommo is it any clearer why Cellino reneged? I don't know for sure but doubt NC would go against fans

@AmyLewisSport: We understand Steve Parkin, a local businessman, is interested in buying Leeds. He tried to buy the club back in 2013 when Cellino took over

@AmyLewisSport: Parkin's told me: What happens to my club is important to me. I keep my business affairs private. That does not mean I am about to buy Leeds

@AmyLewisSport: Massimo Cellino has told me 6 potential buyers have contacted his lawyers interested in buying Leeds.

Steve Parkin: Rising from the coalface to change Leeds’s skyline

Steve Parkin.
09:23Friday 13 September 2013

Steve Parkin used to be a miner but now he is a man with a vision to give Leeds the iconic building it so nearly gained before the recession struck. Jayne Dawson talks to him.

There was a time when the skyline of Leeds was full of cranes. They were everywhere, soaring high, a symbol of our prosperity.

Then the recession happened and they disappeared, leaving empty sky and the city ...unfinished.

In particular there was one big hole, literally a hole. The foundations of the two glass towers known as Lumiere - the greatest symbol of the city’s big bold future - had been months in the drilling, but no towers ever rose.

The site became an eyesore. Instead of a building to be proud of, the people of Leeds found themselves complaining about the ugliness of it all.

All was stagnant.

Until now.

Now, there is talk of what can only be described as a phoenix rising from the ashes - thanks to a former miner from Middleton.


Steve Parkin is that man, an old-school entrepreneur and capitalist who started at the bottom and worked his way to a place where he can now talk in very big numbers indeed.

In terms of distance, he has not travelled that far. Steve began life in Middleton and now he is based on Gelderd Road - a mere cough and a spit away - but separated, in his case, by several hundred million pounds.

Steve has come forward with a plan to develop a new iconic building for the city, and he is not shy about making his intentions clear.

The scheme isn’t firmed up yet and Steve doesn’t know if his towers will be glass like the original Lumiere concept, but the idea is that, within two and a half years, two towers of around twelve storeys each will exist.


“I want it to be a landmark building because I recognise the site’s symbolic value. It’s a good business deal but it’s also about putting something back.”

But how did it come to this? How did the miner from Middleton come to be the man with a plan to rescue our civic pride?

Basically, Steve is a walking template of how to leave school with no qualifications and then turn yourself into someone who thinks bigger than most of us would ever even dream -but he’s a bit of a contradiction too.

His personal wealth was last estimated at £102m, and that didn’t even include his string of around 40 racehorses from which he has made millions, nor his property portfolio and investment business.

In terms of flashiness, he has just ordered a red Ferrari F12 and has years of driving Aston Martins under his belt, but he is also a private man and says talking to the press is the worst part of his job.

“When I was on the way up I wanted everyone to know about it, but now I try more and more to go under the radar. I’ve been asked to do everything from Secret Millionaire to Dragon’s Den, but I won’t. But I admit there is a contradiction in what I do and my desire to stay away from publicity.”

Back in the beginning, he joined Asda as a trainee butcher straight from school, but then he discovered he could earn more money as a miner in the pit at Rothwell, so he left to do that.

But, good money or not, eighteen months was all he could stand, so he gained an HGV licence. By the age of 21, he was delivering fish from Aberdeen to Yorkshire.

Eventually he branched out in the delivery business from fish to fashion and started working for a fashion wholesaler in Leeds.

By the age of 28 he was a man with a van running his own business, driving the length of the country - but gradually, the work built up and turned into what is called “logistics”: taking stock out of the box, putting it on a hanger, ticketing it and delivering it to the store.

He reckons the entrepreneurial streak came from his dad, who had a fish business in Leeds market. He has two brothers, one a banker and the other a builder, and a sister who works for Burtons. He is the strange, entrepreneurial one.

By 1992 he had formed his present company, Clipper Logistics, and soon had a turnover of several million pounds and a workforce of 200 people. It wasn’t all straightforward though. Business is a roller-coaster and strictly for people with nerve - and sometimes a bit of luck.

When one of his biggest customers got into trouble, it looked like Steve’s success could be over and his business would go under, but then he bumped into Philip Green, a man whose business sense means he runs Arcadia, a company which owns many of our high street shops.

Steve already knew the retail king, and told him his business was about to go bust. The result was six postdated cheques, each for £50,000, to cover rent and wages. It took three years to pay him back, but it was a lucky break.

By the millennium, when most of us were wondering if computers would go into meltdown as the year 2000 began, Steve had different thoughts on his mind; he was busy buying companies and acquiring the right staff.

Now he runs a business with a turnover of £220m, employs three and a half thousand people and works with the county’s biggest companies.

“What we do isn’t rocket science, I just want to keep it simple,” he says.

Away from work, he lives in a seven-bedroom house in north Leeds with his wife Joanne and their four children, aged 11 to six.

He met Joanne in a pub in Guiseley one Sunday afternoon and they have been married for 12 years. The couple share five cars between them, the children are all in private school, and Steve worries about their future for slightly different reasons than most of us.

“It makes me anxious when I think of all the money there is,” he says.

Those who don’t know Steve’s name from the business world may well know him from the world of football, because that is the other passion in his life. He owns Guiseley Football Club and has always been a Leeds United fan.

He failed a trial there aged 14 and it broke his heart, he says, but it’s fair to say he bounced back. In fact, he has tried to buy the club more than once, and his name has been in the ownership frame for the last ten years.

“I am a lifelong fan. I used to play truant from school to go watch them train.

“When the club hit the buffers in 2003 I had a plan with three other businessmen to acquire it in a deal that would have cost £5m, or so we thought.

“But it turned out to be a lot more money than that, and I just didn’t have the financial firepower.”

This year he again went into negotiations, this time with the aim of buying a 51 per cent stake in the club. Steve is the kind of man who, if he likes the product, really does want to buy the company.

He travelled to Dubai for talks and the legal work got under way, though negotiations eventually stalled.

He said: “Any deal you do with Leeds United is played out in the spotlight. I could buy a controlling share, that isn’t the problem, it’s the money that would need to be spent after that to make the club the success I know it can be.

“It has been underfunded for so long, it would need £40-£50m. I would be mad keen to get involved but my family would not be happy if I put that amount of money into the club. I wouldn’t, it is just too risky.

“You have to have nerve to do what I have done, but the risk has always been calculated. My headmaster wrote on my final school report that he struggled to imagine what I would do with my life, but that my one saving grace was that I was a born leader. I have never followed anybody, that is just how I am.”

Clipper boss in private equity launch

Steve Parkin
Steve Parkin
Ros Snowdon, City Editor
18:54Wednesday 08 April 2015

FORMER miner Steve Parkin, now a multi-millionaire and the man behind one of Yorkshire’s most successful recent floats, Clipper Logistics, has announced plans to invest in successful Yorkshire businesses, starting with the acquisition of a 25 per cent stake in interiors business, Southerns, for a seven figure sum.

Mr Parkin said the investment, through his private equity vehicle Knaresborough Investments, is part of a strategy to increase his business interests in the region at the same time as offering strategic advice to the firms he invests in.

“I identified Southerns as a business that is similar to where I was with Clipper 15 years ago,” said Mr Parkin.

“The opportunities are immense. Sales are not an issue - it’s maximising the opportunity. If I’d had that guidance 15 years ago, it would have been a lot easier.”

Mr Parkin, whose personal wealth is estimated at over £100m, said he sees Knaresborough Investments as an opportunity to give something back to the Yorkshire community.

“We would like to invest £20m over the next few years in six to 10 investments. We are putting hard cash in, not loan notes, not your usual private equity model. I’m a Yorkshireman and I’m proud of it. There are some fantastic businesses here, but a lot of them aren’t getting the recognition they deserve. As someone who was born in Leeds, I want to put something back.”

His first investment, Southerns, is a fixtures, fittings and equipment specialist that works with a number of blue chip clients including Carillion, Bunzl and a number of top end universities including Leeds.

Southerns was split up nine years ago into a Yorkshire and a Lancashire operation following two management buyouts, but Mr Parkin’s investment has allowed the two parts to come back together.


Southerns will now 40 people in Leeds and 34 in Bolton.

Andy Kendall-Jones, founder and principal of Southerns, will stay on alongside his management team. He said the plan is to increase staff numbers by 50 per cent over the next two or three years.

In its first full year as a combined business, Southerns will have a turnover of £20m and pre-tax profit of just over £1m. The plan is to double the turnover over the next two to three years.

Southerns works across the health, education, corporate and retail sectors, sorting out desks, chairs, seating and storage and offering a managed services solution so companies can get on with their day to day running without worrying about the best way to maximise space.


The long term plan is to introduce Southerns to Clipper Logistics’ blue chip client base, but Mr Parkin said the business has plenty of organic and acquisition opportunities in the medium term.

“Carillion alone has got opportunities of £100m to £200m,” said Mr Kendall-Jones.

Mr Parkin added: “Southerns is an exceptionally strong business with an excellent strategic proposition under an experienced and well regarded senior management team.

“This is more than just an investment in money - it’s time and it’s people. It gives Southerns more credibility in the market place. It’s not just about my wealth, it’s the expertise that it brings.”

While opportunities for organic growth are strong with existing long term clients such as Carillion and Balfour Beatty, acquisitions are likely.

“Acquiring businesses is something we are good at, but obviously it’s up to Andy what he buys,” said Mr Parkin.

“I’ve been approached by dozens of businesses over the years, looking for investment. However, with Southerns, I was the one to pro-actively approach Andy. This is one of a number of investment opportunities in Yorkshire.”

Following the investment in Southerns, Steve Parkin said Knaresborough Investments will seek out similarly strong and growing businesses across a variety of sectors, to help them realise their ambitions.

“Having taken Clipper from a start-up in 1992 to one of the UK’s leading retail supply chain specialists, I have a lot to offer businesses which have a strong proposition and are looking to take the company to the next level,” he said.

Mr Parkin has a portfolio of interests, which include logistics, property and bloodstock.

He founded Clipper more than two decades ago, and in 2014 led the business through an IPO. Since then, Clipper has continued to grow its customer base and has nearly doubled its market capitalisation in the nine months post-flotation.

David Parkin on the Clipper story, a losing bet and golfing gloom
19th September 2014

 Share:David ParkinBy David Parkin - FounderClipper Logistics Group chairman and founder Steve Parkin
Clipper Logistics Group chairman and founder Steve Parkin
IT was fascinating to spend some time with Steve Parkin, chairman of Yorkshire-based Clipper Group, last week.
 
The Leeds-based logistics business floated on the London Stock Exchange earlier this year and, as Steve was quick to point out, is the best performing stock on the main market this year.
 
“Not bad for a van driver from Leeds!” smiled Steve, over lunch at the Italian restaurant Amici, in Alwoodley, North Leeds, another venture which he has invested in.

That pride in his working class roots and mentality of hard graft has, I’m sure, served him well navigating the world of the City of London where the sharks wear Savile Row suits and knife you in the back rather than the front.

You sometimes find self-made entrepreneurs losing some of their drive once their company joins the stock market and suddenly it isn’t all their own any more.

The combination of the analysts (or teenage scribblers as they were once described), negative national press coverage and loud-mouthed shareholders all telling you how to run the company you built from scratch must be, at times, a demoralising experience.

Steve Parkin has embraced life on the stock market with gusto, seeing the opportunities that such a move can provide.
 
Clipper is in talks over new contracts and is now in an even stronger position to make acquisitions that will add serious long-term value to the business.
 
He also has no qualms over his decision to sell his shares at the placing price of 100p even though now they are touching 150p.
 
Steve’s approach is simple: the City was awash with potential floats at the time Clipper was focused on a long-term strategy which involved coming to market.
 
Accepting a realistic price and making sure the float was successful was the right thing to do.
 
I’m sure that has ensured the subsequent success of the company’s share price, and, given Steve and his family still own a significant chunk of the business, then they will have a share in the future upside anyway.
 
Whatever happens, it will keep them in Dover sole at Amici for a while.

:::

AS well as investing in Amici and Guiseley football club, Steve Parkin has a string of race horses and a successful bloodstock business.
 
Which I’m sure would have made him eminently more qualified than me to speak to professional pundit, commentator and gambler Angus Loughran who was in Yorkshire for England’s one-day cricket match at Headingley earlier this month.
 
You may remember he achieved national profile when he co-starred with comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel on the 1990s TV show Fantasy Football League.
 
Sitting behind a desk, clad in pyjamas and a woolly dressing gown, he was dubbed “Statto” for his encyclopaedic knowledge of sport.
 
He can now be spotted at racecourses and other top sporting venues across the country and despite looking like a rumpled Oxbridge don, he is often hob-nobbing with the rich and famous including Sir Alex Ferguson.
 
I was introduced to him when he was having dinner in Leeds restaurant Sous le Nez on the eve of the one-day match.
 
His host mistakenly suggested I had a decent knowledge of horse-racing. He launched into a story which involved phrases like laying, naps and short heads and ended with him saying to me: “So what do you think of that then?”
 
I mumbled something and wandered off apologetically, making a mental note to watch The Morning Line more often.

Steve Parkin-biografi, et par år gammel kortkortversjon:

Sitat fra: footballeconomy.com
Steve Parkin left school at 16 and worked as a miner before becoming a van driver.   He has made £102m in a logistics business that serves Tesco and John Lewis among others.   He was an early mover in seeing the likely impact of internet shopping.  He owns Guiseley AFC, but would really likely to invest in Leeds United

Tenke seg til en type som Parkin (gjerne med flere passive backere), fansen kjøper ut GFHs andel eller en annen minoritetsandel og får styreplass. Symbolsk kanskje, men for å ha tette bånd til ledelsen. Adam Pearson blir CEO igjen, optimismen tilbake...

Sitter å ber til gud hver dag om at vi får beholde Cellino. Skrekk og gru om det nå kommer en som igjen skal drive å selge alle våre beste spillere. Jeg husker enda at hvert eneste vindu gikk vår beste spiller for små penger! Dette var et sant mareritt, men ser jo at det er mange Leeds fans som gjerne tar de dagene tilbake, skjønner bare ikke hva som foregår oppe i topplokket på disse menneskene!?   ???

Det er så utrolig kjedelig at dette enda en gang er den eneste tråden som egentlig betyr noe... Jeg ønsker fremgang, vær ikke i tvil om det. Jeg var like fortvila hver gang vi solgte unna i transfer vinduene. Det eneste Cellino har gitt oss, som Mathiesen her sier, er at han har beholdt våre beste spillere og kjøpt noen gode. Men hva har vi klart å gjøre med det? Pga den ellers latterlige ledelsen av klubben er vi like dårlig stilt som vi var før. Det er bare tidsspørsmål før de beste vi har ønsker seg vekk. De ser at dette er et umulig prosjekt med en gal mann bak rattet.

Vi får fremgang nå!  Den er på vei, bare vi har littegranne tålmodighet. Vi trenger en eier vi vet har penger og det  vet vi Cellino har! Alt annet blir for usikkert til at man kan satse på det!
We are Leeds and we are proud of it!

Vi får kanskje framgang av og til, men vi får ALDRI stabilitet med Cellino. Aldri.

£30 mill for 75% av aksjene? Er ikke det billig egentlig? Her er det jo mulighet for enorme inntekter. Denne prisen er jo det samme storklubbene betaler for en flopp....
Burde det ikke vært et lass med kjøpere? Synes det er rart....
