...and he sold it again a couple of months back to Advent International for £500M so that he could spend more time with his family.

At DFS HQ in Doncaster there's a Merc S65 AMG (£148K when new) that was Lord Kirkham's - but when he bought a newer one the dealer didn't offer enough money on the part ex so he kept it and the company chauffeur uses it to collect visitors from the station / airport. Most of the senior bods at DFS are quite into cars - (Lord) Graham Kirkham has a fleet including a Panamera (couldnt be bothered to go through the option list so just asked for everything apparently), a Jag XJ220 (as per photo), his newer S65 - and his helicopter which he used to use to get to the office now and again; The COO has a Porsche 997 Turbo, etc. Nice...

There's money in them there sofas.
