	Alan Sugar Amstrad Tottenham Hotspur and charity
		Hardly surprising, then, that Alan Sugar, chairman of Amstrad plc since its foundation back in 1968, should have retained the services of a PR firm whose brief is to concentrate on projecting an altogether sweeter image.
		Because unbeknown to those who point a disapproving finger at him, Alan Sugar is one of Britain’s biggest benefactors, an entrepreneur whose experience and expertise is being actively sought out by the new Blairite government and whose unremitting message that business can be fun is inspiring the alienated youth of a lost generation.
		It was a strategy which served Sugar well, his personal fortune now estimated at $400 million, the Amstrad group continuing to turn over more than $100 million p.a., and remaining the largest PC manufacturer in the UK despite fierce competition from overseas.

		Perhaps this was down to Sugar and his lack of footballing knowledge, but, to take one example, Christian Gross, it is easy to see his tenure as a failure - because he was relieved of his duties after such a short time.
		Sugar is definately the unsung hero in this whole shift.
