Career

Richard Heygate is the son of Sir John Heygate, a writer, and Gwyneth Lloyd, a Gaumont Company British film actress. He was educated at Repton School and Balliol College, Oxford.

After leaving Oxford Richard Heygate joined IBM in its Banking Division and led the team that created the first on-line ATM for Lloyds Bank. The Bank itself was built by his maternal grandfather, Howard Lloyd, in the 19th century. After IBM, he began a long career in Management Consultancy McKinsey in two separate periods, during the second of which he was elected a partner.

In the middle of this career, he resigned to run the family estates in Bellarena, Northern Ireland. He created a modern food factory and exported luxury products, such as smoked salmon, throughout the world. A local newspaper in Port-au-Prince dubbed him "Le Roi de Saumon Fume".
