About Our Foundation
The Johnson Foundation was started by Wirral businessman and philanthropist Peter Johnson in 1987. One of Merseyside’s best-known businessmen, he founded Park Group Plc, the Christmas hamper and financial product firm in 1966 and was the owner of both Everton and Tranmere Rovers football clubs. Mr Johnson, with little formal education, grew the hamper business into a £400 million turnover business during his fifty year tenure.
