LIFE OF LUXURY...AS WE LIVE OURS IN FEAR

THOUSANDS of people remain trapped in fire-risk flats while a trio of millionaire developers live the life of Riley.

They run firms named and shamed for failing to agree to carry out precautionary works to prevent another possible Grenfell.

Our probe into their luxury lifestyles comes ahead of next week's sixth anniversary of the inferno which killed 72 in West London.

Developers Dandara and Abbey New Homes - who were not directly involved in the Grenfell disaster and Rydon declined to sign a government pledge last month to strip over 1,000 high-rises of flammable materials. Meanwhile, their fat cat bosses enjoy exotic holidays and dine at Michelin-starred restaurants.

CLADDING 

Trevor Dempsey, 44, pocketed £440,877 as head of Dandara last year, according to accounts.

The magnate stayed at Dubai's five-star Atlantis in April, where one night is between £1,500 and £3,800.

A holiday snap on his partner's Facebook shows him glugging wine on a roof terrace and eating posh grub at upmarket Nobu.

The pair later went kayaking with dolphins and sunned themselves next to an infinity pool.
