He attended ACS Cobham school in Surrey, and started in business, trading commodities as a teenager. In 2006, aged 19, he was appointed as director of Harrods of Knightsbridge,[10] the largest department store in Europe. Fayed was expected to take over as chairman of Harrods,[11] however he resigned in 2009,[12] stating he "felt uncomfortable being publicly associated with it," citing concerns in regards to labour conditions, which he said had "no exposure to natural light, air and nature." He expressed a desire to focus on environmental entrepreneurship instead, commenting at the time, "that consumerist culture wasn’t doing anything positive for the future of humanity."[8] His father Mohamed Al-Fayed, subsequently sold Harrods in 2010,[13] to Qatar Holdings, the sovereign wealth fund of the emirate of Qatar, for £1.5 billion ($2.3 billion).[14]
