Guy Hands on deal making and private equity

A frank account of a career in buying and selling some of the biggest businesses in the world.

Guy Hands, the founder of Terra Firma, opens up on the highs and lows and risks involved in deal making and private equity. From being bullied at school to becoming a household name, buying and selling businesses from cinema chains and pubs to waste management, aircraft leasing and green energy companies. We hear his side of the deal that turned sour, the acquisition of multinational music company EMI in 2007, and how his addiction to doing deals has affected his personal life.
Ed Butler is in conversation with Guy Hands about his new book, The Dealmaker.
