Kevin Francis Herbert Maxwell (born 1959) is a British businessman, and the youngest son of Robert Maxwell.

Biography

Maxwell is the son of Elisabeth (née Meynard) and Robert Maxwell, and brother of Ian Maxwell.[1] His father was Jewish and his mother a French Protestant.[2]

Educated at Oxford University,[1] Maxwell spent most of his working life before 1991 employed by his father, including a spell as chairman of Oxford United F.C..[3] Following the collapse of Robert Maxwell's Mirror Group media empire he became the biggest personal bankrupt in UK history with debts of £406.5 million in 1992.[4] He was later tried and acquitted of fraud arising from his role in his father's companies.[5]

The bankruptcy was lifted three years later, and he co-founded media company Telemonde,[6] which later failed. He entered into a further arrangement over debts he accrued subsequently. After his discharge from bankruptcy in 2005, Maxwell went into the property industry where he has been involved in setting up large property deals, including the sale of Earls Court Exhibition Centre and Olympia, and the purchase of Stables Market in Camden Town.[7]

On 8 July 2011, as a result of an Insolvency Service investigation into the collapse of Syncro, a Manchester-based construction company, Maxwell was disqualified from being a company director for eight years.[8][9]

Personal life

In 1984, he married Pandora Warnford-Davis.[10] They once lived in a manor house in {{convert|10|acre|ha|0}} of land in Oxfordshire. They had seven children[11] but separated in 2007.[12]
