Biography

Feldman was born in September 1923 to Tilly (née Katz; 1902–1977) and Philip Feldman,[1] and was educated at the Grocers' School.[1] Feldman began his first business in 1946, with Richard Beecham.[2] Feldman was a former member of Lloyd's of London, and was the director of The Young Entrepreneurs Fund from 1985 to 1994. He has been described as a former plastic-toy magnate whose business interests reportedly included "Sindy dolls, aircraft kits and yo-yos".[3] Feldman married his wife Gita Julius in 1952.[1] His younger sister was Fenella Fielding, the actress. He had two sons and a daughter. One of his sons is Nick Feldman, bass guitarist of the band Wang Chung. Feldman was a member of the Garrick and Carlton Clubs.

He was knighted in 1982.[4] On 15 January 1996, he was made a life peer as Baron Feldman, of Frognal in the London Borough of Camden.[5] His sponsors were Margaret Thatcher and Cecil Parkinson, and he was introduced to the House of Lords on 14 February 1996.[3]

Feldman died in November 2019 at the age of 96.[6]
