Have a squint at his Wiki page HERE. What Wiki doesn't say, but I feel sure it used to say, is contained in this Sourcewatch page HERE. Just scroll down to the Personnel segment.
Besides being the 1st chairman of the board of DSL, the late Major General was a personal adviser to the royal family.
Years ago I published a chart of private military and defence companies that operated together under the umbrella name of the "Palace Group" of which DSL were a part:

The names on the list are now almost infamous for their meddling in foreign countries. Included were the now defunct Executive Outcomes, well known for its scramble for the mineral wealth of Africa. Amongst other dubious activities.
Another DSL senior officer, Lord Westbury, was formerly the commoner, Richard Bethel. I have covered these people and companies in some detail in my essay Project Hammer Reloaded. Bethel instituted a lawsuit on behalf of his Bermuda based Hart Group to recover 30 tonnes of "fabulous treasure" stolen by the Scottish pirate, Captain William Thompson.
Pirates chasing pirates perhaps?
From the Sourcewatch article:
Quote:Defence Systems Limited (DSL) was one of the earliest Private Military Corporations (PMCs), formed in 1981 by a group of ex-SAS officials riding the swell brought on by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's yardsale of Britain's defense industry to cold war warriors of worth. DSL was initially started with private financial support from London bankers, and possibly some Middle East investors. Over the next fifteen years they established a reputation in the security industry and a small fortune, before selling all to Armor Holdings, Inc. in 1997 for $26 million [3].
