Career

His first job was with oil giant Esso, but he decided to broaden his skills into finance by studying management accounting and taking an MSc in Finance at London Business School in 1978. In 1989, he joined US private equity group Advent International.[9]

Main article: Ineos

Ratcliffe was a co-founder of INSPEC, which leased the former BP Chemicals site in Antwerp, Belgium. In 1998 Ratcliffe formed Ineos in Hampshire to buy-out INSPEC and the freehold of the Antwerp site.

From this small base, using high-yield debt to finance deals, Ratcliffe started buying unwanted operations from groups such as ICI and BP, selecting targets based on their potential to double their earnings over a five-year period. In 2006 Ineos bought BP's refining and petrochemical arm Innovene, giving Ineos refineries and plants in Scotland, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium and Canada.[3][4]

In April 2010, Ratcliffe moved Ineos's head office from Hampshire to Rolle, Switzerland, decreasing the amount of tax the company paid by £100m a year.[10]

In 2015, Ratcliffe opened the UK headquarters of the chemicals and energy group in Knightsbridge, London, along with gas and oil trading, and other functions, saying he was "very cheerful about coming back to the UK”. He was pleased with UK policy, London as a business base, and untroubled by the prospect of Brexit. Full year 2015 EBITDA was €577 million compared to €253 million for 2014.[11]

In the Sunday Times Rich List 2018 he was named as the richest man in the UK, with a net worth of £21.05 billion.[5]

On 13 November 2017, Ratcliffe became the owner of FC Lausanne-Sport, a Swiss Super League football club.[16]

On 22 August 2019, the French competition authority permitted the €100 million takeover of Ligue 1 club OGC Nice from Chinese-American entrepreneur Chien Lee by Ineos.[17]

Ratcliffe supported the October 2019 Ineos 1:59 Challenge, a successful effort by Eliud Kipchoge to run 26.2 miles under 2 hours.[18]

In February 2020, Ineos became principal partners of Mercedes AMG F1, signing a five-year agreement with the team.[19] In the same month, Ratcliffe rejected claims that he would buy a Premier League club, having previously been linked to Chelsea.[20]

INEOS has had small projects in BioEthanol production using Clostridium to attempt that route of sustainability, although it has had problems with the Syngas having too high levels of HCN (hydrogen cyanide) for the bacteria to properly operate. [24]

Honours and awards

In May 2009, Ratcliffe was granted an honorary fellowship by the Institution of Chemical Engineers citing “his sustained leadership in building the Ineos Group.”[25] In 2013 he received the Petrochemical Heritage Award.[26] Ratcliffe was appointed Knight Bachelor in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to business and to investment.[27]

Personal life

In 1985, Ratcliffe married Amanda Townson; they have two sons, George and Samuel. They divorced in 1995.[8][28][29] He has one daughter with his current partner, Maria Alessia Maresca, an Italian tax lawyer.[30][8][31][32]

The Guardian reported that Ratcliffe was moving to Monaco for income tax related reasons.[35]

Ratcliffe enjoys physical adventure and has made expeditions to the North and South Poles, as well as a three-month-long motorbike trek in South Africa, and has founded a charity "Go Run for Fun", encouraging thousands of children aged between five and ten, to get active by creating celebrity-driven events.[36][37]

Ratcliffe has owned two super yachts, Hampshire and Hampshire II. His first yacht was built as Barbara Jean by Feadship. In 2012 he took delivery of the 78 metres (256 ft) Feadship Hampshire II, built by Royal van Lent, which he still owns.[42]
