Amsprop (Investment company)
Viglen Ltd (a PC maker for businesses/education by the looks of it)
Amscreen (LCD billboard advertising firm)

I do believe he has a significant commercial property portfolio also.

Not really sure what he does now....who cares anyway? He's made his mint now, I'm sure he's happy wherever he is/whatever he's doing!

He also goes round the country ranting (and I mean ranting!) on behalf of the government at business people

It is true, I was invited to meet him last year, it was hardly surprising that he started ranting when the questions put to him were pretty stupid. When asked a reasonable question he gave excellent advice but I think he left Manchester wondering why he had bothered..............

I warmed to him when he explained that he thought that he had missed out on his family growing up because he was determined to succeed, I have always felt a bit guilty because I will not let business intrude on my family time - which means everything takes so much longer than if I could have all the time necessary - but my role first and foremost is mum.

Oh by the way I didn't ask anything, really wanted to and believe I had a valid (far less stupid than some!) question - but I am horribly shy and couldn't.

Working on that now.....

looks like ex winner Simon Ambrose has legged it to start up on his own. AS seems remarkably supportive of his decision
