With his long unkempt hair, his colourful ties and ample figure, Sir John Harvey-Jones was hardly the traditional idea of a captain of industry.
Yet, as chairman of ICI from 1982 to 1987, he transformed the company from a loss-making outfit to one making a profit of more than £1 billion.
When he left the company, he built a whole new career communicating his ideas about business to a television audience of millions.
