Citywealth asks Andrew Young, Head of Private Tax and Capital, LG law firm, London: “Which top four entrepreneurs do you most admire?”

Richard Branson
Great image and ambition which seems to know no bounds. He is witty too.

Stuart Rose, Chief Executive, Marks & Spencer
Because he beat back Sir Philip Green and comprehensively turned around a national institution, when nobody thought he could do either.

Sir Philip Green, billionaire
Despite being beaten by Rose is still the King of Britains high streets. From a relatively humble background to many billions in one working lifetime takes a special talent. He is also the King of the British expat community in Monaco where he throws magnificent parties. He isn’t a shy violet and I like his style.

Guy Hands, Chief Executives, Terra Firma Capital
He was a contemporary at Oxford and a close friend of William Hague’s aswell. He has gone from investment banking success to establishing Terra Firma (they are a neighbour at More London) his own investment company doing multi billion dollar deals. He is now one of the City’s leading financiers. Even at Oxford he was always selling stuff, but who would have thought they would both do quite so well.
