Laing Family

Laing Family

The Laing Family became one of the wealthiest families in Europe during the 20th century predominantly through their involvement in the construction industry with John Laing plc, and lead by Sir John Laing. As the 20th century wore on the family diversified their business interests into industries including Property, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology and Finance. The Laing Family are great philanthropists having donated £8.8 million to various charities in 2003. John Laing plc was sold to Henderson Private Equity in December 2006. The current family patriarch is Sir Martin Laing.
