As a former politician, Lord Jeffey Archer is a fine orator and after dinner speaker.

He was born in London and educated at Oxford, where he gained an athletics blue and was President of the University Athletics Club. Jeffrey went on to run the 100 yards in 9.6 seconds for Great Britain in 1966.

After University

After leaving Oxford he was elected to the GLC in 1966, and three years later at the age of 29, he was elected a Member of Parliament for Louth.  After five years he resigned from the House of Commons, and wrote his first novel Not A Penny More Not A Penny Less.

Renowned Author

It has often been said that Jeffrey Archer's own story would make an international bestseller. However having written eleven novels, three plays, three children's books, and four collections of short stories, he is published in 32 languages and 64 countries, with international sales passing one hundred and twenty million copies. Jeffrey is also a playwright and has written an original screenplay.

Jeffrey Archer is the former Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, and was made a Life Peer in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List of 1992.  He is an amateur charity auctioneer, and an art collector.

In 2001, Jeffrey was sentenced to four years in prison for perjury.  He served two years, and was released on 21 July 2003.  He has since published three volumes of his Prison Diary, run the London Marathon in 5 hours 26 minutes—raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, The Fund for Addenbrooke’s, The Facial Surgery Research Foundation and the British Heart Foundation, and written a screenplay, Mallory - Walking Off The Map. 

Jeffrey has been married for 40 years to Dr Mary Archer, who is chairman of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
