Since launching the charity in 1997, Lampl has given £65mn to its work, which includes supporting disadvantaged young people to access education, such as taking up places at universities including Oxford and Cambridge, as well as Harvard and Yale in the US.
Prior to setting up the charity he was the founder of global private equity firm the Sutton Company.
“The Sutton Trust has exceeded my wildest hopes for what it could achieve,” said Lampl.
“It has worked tirelessly to level the playing field of educational opportunity and has revolutionised attitudes to social mobility in the UK.”
Lampl says that he will continue to “advocate for social mobility from an independent position” adding “I am, and always will be, immensely proud of what the Trust has achieved”.
