Editing Tim Yeo (section)

==Early life==
Yeo was educated at [[Charterhouse School]], before going on to [[Emmanuel College, Cambridge]], where he read History and graduated in 1968. At university he "did no work, got a poor degree and adored it".<ref>{{cite news|title=Interview by Alice Thomson|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1446501/Im-stronger-and-possibly-nicer.html | location=London | work=The Daily Telegraph|date=12 November 2003}}</ref>

From 1970 to 1973, Yeo was assistant treasurer of [[Bankers Trust]] Company. Then, from 1975 to 1986, he was a director of Worcester Engineering Company. From 1980 to 1983, he was chief executive of the Spastics Society (now known as [[Scope (British charity)|Scope]]).

The [[Tadworth#The Children.27s Trust|Tadworth Court Children's Hospital]] was founded in 1984 under his chairmanship after [[Great Ormond Street Hospital]] had decided to relinquish the building in 1982. He resigned in the early nineties because of his parliamentary workload and was succeeded by [[Archie Norman]].<ref>Andrew Ross, ''[[Emmanuel College, Cambridge|Emmanuel College]] Magazine'' (2012–2013), pp. 83–86</ref>
