He volunteered for a number of charitable organisations and was a major donor to the Labour Party. Rosenfeld was one of twelve wealthy donors to the Labour Party named in the Cash for Honours scandal of 2006. In 2012 he co-founded The People's Operator, a mobile telephone company. Early lifeRosenfeld had a bachelor's degree in Estate Management from South Bank Polytechnic,[2] and thereafter qualified as a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.[2] Charitable activitiesHe was head of the UK National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children's "Full Stop" campaign, raising £250 million which is the largest sum ever raised in Britain for a single children's appeal. Formerly he was a Jewish Care trustee.[4] He was a Vice-President of the NSPCC[3] and was Chairman of the Full Stop Fellowship.[2] Political involvementBefore the 2005 General Election he lent £1,033,000[4] to the Labour Party as part of the Cash for Honours scandal and, in partial return, was invited to a private dinner with Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street.[5] Rosenfeld denied that he made the loan expecting to receive an honour in exchange[6] although he was nominated for one by some of Blair's top aides.[7] It was subsequently repaid in full by 2009.[8] In 2010 Rosenfeld had abandoned his support of the Labour Party, choosing to endorse David Cameron, the Conservative candidate.[12] Rosenfeld said that Cameron was "the man for the job – no doubt about it" and that the Labour Party had "run out of time."[9] By 2011 Rosenfeld was again backing the Labour Party, having emerged as its "most generous private donor."[8] He had announced that he would donate £1 million to the Labour Party for the 2015 general election campaign.[4] CareerRosenfeld's father and grandfather were both in real-estate and he learned the rudiments of the trade by tagging along with his father while he evaluated properties.[10] He took his first job after college with Schroders, where he worked for two years.[10] He subsequently worked at SW Berisford evaluating properties in New York and California.[10] In the mid-80s, at the age of 23, Rosenfeld was hired by David Garrard to run one of his companies, Land Investors.[10] By the end of the decade he and Garrard had founded Minerva.[10] Rosenfeld was already joint chairman of Minerva in 1997 at the age of 35.[11] He, by that time chief executive of Minerva, replaced David Garrard as chairman of the company in March 2005.[12] Rosenfeld was replaced as chief executive at the end of June 2005.[13] He resigned as executive chairman in October 2005.[14] While living in Geneva as a tax exile he set up a company called "Air Capital" and formed a partnership with the Goldman Sachs Whitehall Fund.[15] The People's OperatorIn 2012 Rosenfeld founded a new mobile phone company, The People's Operator, that contributes 10% of income and 25% of profits to charity and other non-profit organisations.[16] Personal lifeIn 2006 he moved to Geneva[17] to avoid paying taxes in Britain[18] but returned to the UK in April 2011.[19] While he lived in Switzerland he held many of his assets offshore in the British Virgin Islands, but upon returning to Britain moved them back into that country.[19] Rosenfeld had four children from his first marriage, which was dissolved. He married again in 2014, to Juliet Soskice,[20] a "close friend" of Ed Miliband.[21] References1. ^Jim Pickard, "Labour donor Andrew Rosenfeld Dies", The Financial Times (9 February 2015) {{DEFAULTSORT:Rosenfeld, Andrew}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rics.org/fellowship|title=Fellow (FRICS)|first=Royal Institution of Chartered|last=Surveyors|date=|website=www.rics.org|accessdate=1 April 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nspcc.org.uk/what-we-do/about-the-nspcc/annual-report/annual-report-2012/annual-report-2012-pdf_wdf92210.pdf |title=NSPCC Annual report 2011/12 |publisher=NSPCC |year=2012 |accessdate=30 September 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Parties late reporting donations|work=The Birmingham Post|date=24 August 2006|author=Daniel Bentley}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Police close in on Blair over donors|work=The Sunday Times|date=29 October 2006|author=David Leppard and Robert Winnett|page=1}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Police scrutinise dossier on loans by Labour backers|work=The Times|date=21 April 2006|author=Rajeev Syal and Andrew Pierce|page=2}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=No10 honours plot: four new names|work=The Sunday Times|date=22 July 2007|author=David Leppard and Robert Winnett|page=1}} 8. ^1 {{cite news|title=The private donor with shifting political loyalties|author=Jim Pickard|page=4|work=Financial Times|date=26 September 2012}} 9. ^1 {{cite news|title=Labour donor jumps ship|work=The Sunday Times|date=2 May 2010|page=2}} 10. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|title=Property whiz-kid who was to his manor born|work=The Sunday Times|date=25 January 1998|author=Matthew Lynn|page=5}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=The shares to buy for 1998 – Minerva|work=The Sunday Times|date=28 December 1997|author=David Parsley|page=2}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Doubt over Minerva liability|work=The Times|date=8 March 2005|author=Jenny Davey|page=41}} 13. ^{{cite news|title=Hasan takes over at Minerva|work=Financial Times|date=11 May 2005|page=23}} 14. ^{{cite news|publisher=Investors Chronicle|title=MINERVA (MNR)|date=7 October 2005}} 15. ^{{cite news|title=Rosenfeld's New Year warning shot|work=London Evening Standard|date=21 December 2007}} 16. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.civilsociety.co.uk/fundraising/news/content/13824/wealthy_labour_donor_launches_mobile_network_with_charity_link |title=Wealthy Labour donor launches mobile network with charity link |author=Tania Mason |newspaper=Civil Society |date=19 November 2012 |accessdate=30 September 2013}} 17. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/105720/andrew-rosenfeld-be-labour-partys-biggest-donor |title=Andrew Rosenfeld to be Labour Party's biggest donor |author=Marcus Dysch |newspaper=The Jewish Chronicle |date=15 April 2013 |accessdate=30 September 2013}} 18. ^{{cite news|title=Protesters occupy site in battle over city academy|work=London Evening Standard|date=26 March 2007|author=Dominic Hayes}} 19. ^1 {{cite news|title=Property mogul's £1m to Labour|work=The Sunday Times|date=14 April 2013|author=Oliver Shah|page=1}} 20. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/andrew-rosenfeld-businessman-who-made-a-fortune-from-property-then-became-a-noted-philanthropist-and-labour-party-donor-10045774.html |title=Andrew Rosenfeld: Businessman who made a fortune from property then became a noted philanthropist and Labour Party donor |author=Marcus Williamson |newspaper=The Independent |date=13 February 2015 |accessdate=17 April 2015}} 21. ^{{cite web|url=http://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/ed-miliband-tribute-deceased-ex-labour-party-donor-andrew-rosenfeld/|title=Ed Miliband tribute to deceased Labour Party donor Andrew Rosenfeld|author=|date=|website=timesofisrael.com|accessdate=1 April 2018}} 11 : 1962 births|2015 deaths|Alumni of London South Bank University|Businesspeople in telecommunications|British expatriates in Switzerland|British philanthropists|British Jews|British real estate businesspeople|Labour Party (UK) people|National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children people|Schroders people |
