Career
Bloomfield was involved in a number of high-profile deals during the 1980s and was known as the man who sourced the transactions that made Tony Clegg's Mountleigh a stock market favourite in 1986–87.
In 1989, it emerged that he was the joint owner of the Alton Towers theme park and a leisure venture at Battersea Power Station after forming a joint venture, Alton International, with John Broome of the Alton Group. Broome had been struggling to complete the Battersea project.[1]
Bloomfield became bankrupt during the 1990s property crash. He later moved to Russia, where he made a number of successful deals in the former Soviet states. He also helped to raise finance for the redevelopment of Wembley Stadium.[2][3][4][5]
