Small business people have voted Richard Branson as the ultimate business role model in a recent survey commissioned by Intuit, maker of QuickBooks financial management software.
More than 500 small business owners and directors were asked across the UK who their business role model is.
Twenty-five per cent of respondents said that Richard Branson was their top role model, while six per cent opted for Alan Sugar and six per cent for retail guru Phillip Greeen.
Some people looked further afield for their motivation, naming Ronald Reagan, Jesus Christ, RnB star Jay-Z, Sir Frank Whittle (inventor of the jet engine) and Bill Kenwright, chairman of Everton FC, as their business role models,
A futher eighteen per cent felt that the person who most inspired them and their business was a member of their family.
