It would be hard to find another influencer like Ronald Randall – a man who has come from childhood poverty to have such influence on such a wide scale.
Influence that stretches from the leg of lamb for our Sunday roast to the economy of a Caribbean island; from leading the way with astonishingly generous treatment of his employees to unforgettable treats for seriously ill children.
Mr Randall is an entrepreneur and a philanthropist.
He calls himself a Master Butcher, others call him an ambassador for his industry as founder and chairman of Randall Parker Food Group, famed for its excellence and exports around the world.
As owner and Chairman of Blue Waters, one of the best hotels in the West Indies, he has overcome hurricanes and recessions to save Antigua from disaster.
As Vice Patron of children’s charity Starlight, he is both a remarkable strategic fundraiser and a man with a heart of gold, welcoming sick children and their parents to his home for memorable days out and helping raise £4 million.
What’s more, Mr Randall has been a top influencer for 40 years. In the words of a former MD of Waitrose he has made an “exceptional contribution and dedication to the meat trade”, while a former Prime Minister of Antigua praises him as “an exceptionally good friend” of the island.
