IT'S MY LIFE RICHARD MATTHEWMAN SENECA NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RICHARD MATTHEWMAN IS AN ACTIVE INVESTOR AND ENTREPRENEUR. How I started... ONSIDE WINTER 2016 | I went straight to work after technical college, where I did business studies. I was taught by Bob Cyrer, who became an MP. I went to work first of all in a paper mill, earning £60 a week. I always worked hard, sometimes 17 hour days - but in shifts that gave me time off to go and see bands in London. I then went to work for a steel stockholder in an office in King's Cross, supplying steel to the aviation industry. 19
