Born at Catford in south-east London, he was educated at St Ann's School in Hanwell.[1] After leaving school aged 14 he hired a horse and cart to move earth, and then moved into the landscape gardening business.[2] One of his first major contracts was re-laying the pitch at Highbury for Arsenal FC.[3] From earth-moving Sunley moved into the open-cast mining business. In 1940, he founded Bernard Sunley & Sons.[4] During the Second World War he built over 100 airfields, and in 1942 he purchased the business of Blackwood Hodge, then a supplier of agricultural machinery and later a successful plant hire and sale business[3]. He subsequently "ranked alongside the most successful property developers of the 1950s property boom".[4] Sunley campaigned as Conservative party candidate for Ealing West in 1945, but was unsuccessful. Sunley established the Bernard Sunley Charitable Foundation in 1960 with a pledge of £300,000-worth of shares. As of 2011, it had made grants of more than £92 million.[3] He died in 1964. His son, John Sunley, was a property developer and philanthropist.[5] Bernard Sunley Hall is an eponymous hall of residence for Imperial College London students on Evelyn Gardens Square.[6] See also
