Origins
The 'Savoy Mafia' were a group of financiers, businessmen, arms dealers, senior civil servants, spooks and conservative politicians who met regularly at the Savoy Grill. Financial Times journalist Richard Donkin reports that Gerald James opined that what most of its members had in common was a desire to make a lot of money exploiting export credit guarantees – a government-backed (that means taxpayer backed) system that underwrites export deals.[1][2]
Activities
Members of this group, "were instrumental in finding work in the US for Mark Thatcher".[1]
