Episode Description

At the age of 24, Sir Lloyd Dorfman opened a small currency exchange shop in London. His company, Travelex, went on to become the world’s leading foreign exchange specialist.

Lloyd and George’s wide-ranging conversation, recorded live in London on 1 July, explores Lloyd’s business and philanthropic career, his family roots and Jewish identity, the essence of entrepreneurialism and whether one ever stops being a ‘migrant’.

Migrants Mean Business is a podcast series from the Migration Museum, in association with Allianz Global Investors, presented by George Alagiah and featuring conversations with some of Britain’s most successful business leaders – all of whom have immigrant backgrounds.

This podcast was recorded and produced by David Craigie, who also made the theme music.
