Roland Walter "Tiny" Rowland

The Clermont Club, as noted in Adam Curtis’ documentary series The 
Mayfair Set, acted as a catalyst for the formation of a power nexus around a series 
of powerful businessmen and politicians who were incredibly influential during 


Margaret Thatcher’s government during the 1980s.1# At the center of this nexus 
were figures such as David Stirling, Sir James Goldsmith, and Roland Walter 
Rowland. Goldsmith later employed Thomas Corbally directly. Lord Boothby was 
also a member of the Clermont Club. 

Stirling and Rowland, in particular, had significant ties to the global arms 
trade as well as relationships with Saudi weapons dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who 
later became a client of Roy Cohn as well as Jeffrey Epstein around the same time, 
as well as a key figure in the Iran-Contra affair. Both Stirling and Rowland also had 
their own associations with the Iran-Contra operation. Roland Walter Rowland, 
better known as “Tiny” Rowland, was also a very close associate of Robert 
Maxwell, as was fellow Clermont Club member and corporate raider James 
Goldsmith. Goldsmith not only had ties to Maxwell, but also to white collar 
crime-linked figures including Charles Keating, Michael Milken, and, later, Jeffrey 
Epstein.
