Michael Laundon

Born on the south coast of England, Michael Laundon has always enjoyed a passion for cinema. During his youth, he made many short films with friends and always knew this was his world. A decision not to begin university after being accepted to study Film & Media proved wise, as Michael founded World of Books in 2002. Over the next 16 years, World of Books would become the largest online buyer and seller of used books globally while simultaneously raising millions of pounds for charity. After selling a majority interest in World of Books, Laundon has transitioned his entrepreneurial pursuits towards M2 MediaPost ("M2"). Away from business, Laundon enjoys football (European), cycling, reading, photography, and spending time with family.
