Richard Dunhill, grandson of the founder of Alfred Dunhill Ltd., died on August 26, 2016, at the age of 89, having been an employee for 68 years. He joined the company in 1948, was Director for 28 years and Chairman for 27 years, overseeing this vertically integrated global colossus, a premium purveyor of “smokers’ requisites” and luxury goods in operation for more than a century: its products are available in 21 countries, in more than 100 retail boutiques, 70 of which are Alfred Dunhill stores. So internationally recognized is the brand that between 1924 and 2005 seven books have been published about its history and its eclectic products. | Richard Dunhill, grandson of the founder of Alfred Dunhill Ltd., died on August 26, 2016, at the age of 89, having been an employee for 68 years.
