Although the mood has changed, the new-look Mandrake remains a testament to the strength of old-school connections. It is now run by Ed Hardy, who, along with his friend Charlie Hoult, took over the running of the club from Johnson in 2004. Hoult's sister Anabel is the most senior female executive at Carphone Warehouse, and was one of the first girls to go to Ross and Dunstone's old school, Uppingham, when it went co-educational. It was at school that Dunstone set up his first business selling lighters with fellow pupil Johnny Vaughan, the DJ and TV presenter. He also tapped Uppingham's arch rival at rugby, Oundle, for two of his senior executives, Roger Taylor and Andrew Pinnington. 'The whole Uppingham and Oundle story is very interesting,' says one member of the circle. 'Public schoolboys are quite likely to become entrepreneurs because they are aspirational and they have wealth in their background, so there is something to fall back on. If you were academically clever you might become a doctor, but if not, then business was the way to go.'
