Candy is the tycoon of the British real estate market. He was born in 1973, to a Greek Cypriot mother and an Italian-British father. Together with his brother, Christian Candy, he has a total fortune of 1.5 billion pounds.
The two brothers began their careers in the business world in 1995. They bought an apartment in London after taking out a loan. They renovated it and sold it, making a profit of 50,000 pounds. So they decided to take their first timid steps in the renovated homes sector.

We are committed to preserving the club’s incredible heritage and promoting community participation, and we can provide financial stability to ensure the club’s future growth on the world stage,” he said.
