Tony Dalwood is a rare blend of elite sport and high-stakes business. A double Cambridge Blue who played for Saracens, Rosslyn Park, and the Irish Exiles, he carried lessons of resilience, discipline, and teamwork from the rugby pitch into the City.
In 2014, Tony led a management buy-in of Gresham House a 150-year-old firm most had written off. Under his leadership it grew more than 30×, becoming a £10bn+ global investment leader in forestry, energy storage, renewables, and growth capital before its sale to US private equity in 2023.
On this episode of The Business End, Tony reveals how obsession, trust, and playing the long game shaped both his sporting and business success — and what leaders today can learn about building winning teams.
