I listened to entrepreneur Duncan Ballantyne on Desert Island Discs this morning. What a charming man! Unassuming, happy, kind, self-deprecating. For anyone who doesn't know who he is, Mr Ballantyne has a self-made fortune of several hundred million pounds and gained a level of fame on The Lion's Den. Despite this, his values system appears to be rooted firmly in family and he seems to be remarkably un-spoiled by his success. Ok, it was only forty-five minutes. He did, however, come across really well and I think he's probably a great role-model on all sorts of levels.

Go and listen to him on the Radio 4 website.
