Q: Is Lord Alan’s management style misunderstand, or is what you see on TV the real him?
A: In many ways it is – he’s direct, and to the point, and also has a sharp sense of humour. But what people don’t often understand is that he does a lot behind the scenes, and he is a real passionate supporter of other entreprenuers. This doesn’t really get much mention.
