# … and snags award

The British newspaper The Guardian has named Clive Sinclair as the Young Businessman of the Year. The award is made annually to people in Britain who have shown particular ability in business.

Past winners have included Sir Michael Edwards, the man responsible for improving the ailing fortunes of Britain’s state-owned carmaker BL.

The award has caused some amusement as Clive claims to be neither young nor a businessman. At 42, he is more than twice the age of many of the young entrepreneurs now reputed to be making vast sums from the rapid growth of the home computing market in Britain.
