ABOUT THE OGSTON DEEMSTERS
Hamish Ogston maintains the Ogston Deemster cars, which were produced by the Ogston Motor Company between 1912 and 1924. Only a few hundred were made.
In 1914, Mr. Charles Jarrot, Mr. J.N.Ogston A.M.I.C.E, Mr. H.C.M. Stevens and Mr. H.C.Scofield announced that they had acquired the entire output of the new light car manufactured by The Ogston Motor Co. Ltd of Acton, London. War intervened, but in 1918, The Ogston Motor Co. was formed.

THE BALLOON
In addition to the collection of Ogston Deemsters, a Deemster hot air balloon also forms part of Hamish Ogston’s collection. The Deemster Balloon is 105 thousand cu. ft. balloon made by Cameron Balloons in Bristol – the logo seen on the side is that used by the Ogston Motor Co. on their cars made in the 1920s.
In 2014, the Deemsters were blessed at Liverpool Cathedral, where they were a centrepiece of a special service to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the consecration of the cathedral. Then in 2017, the Deemster balloon was inflated at the Cathedral to celebrate the completion of the Grand Organ refurbishment.

As a child, I was inspired by the Salisbury cathedral. Since then, I've held a deep appreciation for historic landmarks and have been passionate about preserving architectural marvels from all around the world.
🏛The Hamish Ogston Foundation is dedicated to preserving historic landmarks and buildings in the UK and around the world.
One of the key principles of the Hamish Ogston Foundation is maximising the benefit to ensure that every penny is well-spent.
We believe in creating meaningful impact within the community and in order to do this, we need to ensure that we're maximising the benefit by looking at the bigger picture. That's why all the grants we provide are £1.5 million or more.
As a philanthropist, I tend to draw on my experience as an entrepreneur. As a result, the Foundation is committed to ensuring the long-term success of the causes and the people we have pledged to help.
We believe that the best charities are run like a business - with a focus on long-term sustainability. That's why we work with a select group of advisors who represent the best in their field to identify causes and provide mentorship to those with the best chance of success.
