Churchwarden linked to foreign-born billionaire is behind £200k Reform gift
The man whose firm made the donations will not discuss where the money came from, nor his ties to wealthy Farage allies who may not hold citizenship.
John Richard Simpson is a 59-year-old conveyancer whose parish website describes him as an “experienced” and “dedicated” Anglican lay leader.
He is the owner of Interior Architecture Landscape Limited, which made seven payments to Nigel Farage’s party last summer. The firm, which was originally owned via a trust in the British Virgin Islands, is so small it does not have to file professionally audited accounts. It did not display any contact details until recently and was almost wound up by HMRC after a tax dispute last year.
Simpson, known locally as Bill, “does conveyancing, but is not a fully qualified solicitor”, according to a Facebook post by a neighbour in the Hertfordshire town. There is no evidence he has any background in interior design. He has no known political affiliation or background in activism.
He would not discuss the source of the funds donated to Reform last week.
Simpson has long worked for Sasan and Yasmin Ghandehari, a married couple who a spokesman for the interior design company acknowledged were “clients”.
Last month, the Ghandehari family office sponsored Farage’s pass to Davos and a hotel in the Swiss resort for the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering.
They claimed to have retained the Reform leader as “an honorary and unpaid adviser” in an arrangement first reported by the Financial Times.
… Although Bill has been sole shareholder and director of Interior Architecture Landscape Limited for two and a half years, it was originally incorporated in 2013 by a BVI trust of the same name. That entity shares the same address as the Ghandehari trust that owns the mansion.
