David Kirch

Sir David Roderick Kirch, KBE (born 1936) is a British businessman, collector, and philanthropist.

[2] Over his lifetime Kirch built up and subsequently sold what was probably the world's largest collection of Zeppelin memorabilia,[3] and a collection of provincial bank notes said to be "the most extensive selection of iconic and historical notes of this series ever assembled" by Barnaby Faull, Head of Spink's Banknotes department.

[4] In recent years, he has been selling off items from his various collections and donating the funds to his charitable trust.

[5] In 2006, Kirch celebrated his 70th birthday by announcing his plans to give everyone in Jersey, aged 70 or over, £100 in vouchers to spend in the island's Co-op supermarkets.

[7] In 2013, he appeared at the top of The Sunday Times Giving List,[7] and was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the 2013 Birthday Honours for "services as a philanthropist to senior citizens of Jersey".
