Business Man

Kevin Linfoot is one of Britain's wealthiest and most successful men.

His achievements have come despite being barely able to read or write. He suffers from a severe form of dyslexia and left school without any qualifications. His fortunes were turned around when he received £1,800 compensation after a motorbike accident when he was 17, and used the money to buy a half-share of a joinery business, which he sold 12 months later for £22,000.
He then started buying, renovating and selling houses and building up the business K W Linfoot, which today has 4,000 properties on the drawing board or under construction, and is building the twin tower, 700-flat Lumiere scheme in Leeds city centre - Europe's highest such building.
