A Scottish multimillionaire entrepreneur, who started his business
career selling trainers from a van, is to team up with Bill Clinton in
a project tackling world poverty. The businessman, who made his initial
fortune with the Sports Division store chain, is hoping to create a
development model that will allow some of the poorest areas of the
world to be self-sufficient.
Sir Tom Hunter was in New York yesterday to launch the Clinton-Hunter
Development Initiative. The businessman, who models himself on the
Scottish philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, has made $100m (=A355m)
available as seed money to be used to establish two projects, probably
one in Africa and one in either Asia or Latin America.
