Maverick took on print unions
Scottish Daily Express
|February 14, 2026
EDDY Shah was a businessman and maverick press magnate who shook up the UK newspaper industry and took on the unions long before Rupert Murdoch did.
-
Shah founded the technologically advanced Today newspaper in 1986 and owned the short-lived tabloid The Post and the Messenger Group.
Born Selim Jehan Shah in Cambridge, his mother was English, from a boat-building family, and his Iranian father was a shipping barrister. He was educated at Karachi Grammar School, the Scottish boarding school Gordonstoun, and at both Haywards Heath Grammar School and Haywards Heath Secondary Modern School in Sussex.
