YORK’S Shepherd family are now worth £253 million, according to the Sunday Times.
The family – whose Shepherd group encompasses Portakabin – ranked 389th and 16th wealthiest in Yorkshire in this year’s Rich List, published yesterday.
They have dropped from 366th in the ranking, but seen their wealth rise by £1 million in the newspaper’s estimate.
Businessman Alan Lewis – who owns the Jacobean Sheriff Hutton Hall and made much of his fortune from the Crombie clothing company – is valued at £270 million in 370th place on the list.
Yorkshire’s richest people are Meadowhall entrepreneurs Eddie and Malcolm Healey, worth an estimated £1.5 billion, while Harrogate-based property magnate Paul Sykes is valued at £690 million, and Sir Ken Morrison at £733 million – £167 million less than last year.
