Lawrence Kenwright is the founder of Signature Living. Signature Living operates various hotels and three apartment locations within the city which have been hugely successful. Kenwright's businesses are the go-to accommodation for large groups and party stays in Liverpool. See More Early life Kenwright was born in Walton, UK. He went to Alsop High School. Career Kenwright began a career in retail at the age of seventeen, and there are reports in the news about his situation. He founded the retail clothing company Yes & Co six years later. After selling the company, he became involved in real estate and development. Working mostly in apartment buildings Kenwright founded Signature Living in 2008, a developer that restores historic buildings. Many of his developments have become hotels, having four in the City of Liverpool. The company also provides some housing for those who have lost their homes. From late 2018, lenders and investors experienced difficulties in gaining their contracted returns. This resulted in extensive coverage in the media, such as the BBC and Liverpool Echo. All lenders and investors currently have not received their full returns and some have not received any funds whatsoever. Media coverage has reported this has led to significant financial hardships for many private lenders who have not been repaid their money. Between Kenwright and his wife, they are, or have been, directors of over 100 companies over the last 9 years, 6 of which have been dissolved, 16 have had compulsory strike off action in the last year and 9 which have overdue accounts. In April 2020 Signature's Liverpool Shankly Hotel and the Signature group's parent company Signature Living Hotel Limited were put into administration, a few months before the BBC debuted their fly-on-the-wall documentary series The Grand Party Hotel, a BBC One programme which would focus on the Liverpool hotel's staff and guests (such as Wagner from ) and not the company's financial issues.
