Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair said he’s closing down some of his business ventures to focus on nonprofit work.
Blair will shut Tony Blair Associates, transferring its “substantial reserves” to his not-for-profit work, his office said on Tuesday in a statement on its website. He’ll also wind up his Firerush and Windrush ventures, two London-based limited partnerships that weren’t required to publish accounts under English law.
