Peter Kindersley (born 1941) was the co-founder of the publishing company Dorling Kindersley and ran it with Christopher Dorling from 1974, until he sold his family stake for £105m in 2000. The firm's lavishly illustrated non-fiction reference books for adults and children were soon marketed globally and translated into many languages. In 2006, the Kindersley family, with Peter at the head, bought the UK based ethical organic health and beauty company, Neal's Yard Remedies.
