Vote-rigging time again - Martin Perry

[Worthingite]

Pumped millions of his own money into Falmer & Portslade schools, being a working class Brightonian and self made millionaire.

Hardly. Wasn't he the chap who was CEO of Capita? Not knocking him mind, but when someone says "self made millionaire" to me, I think of entrepreneurial people like Alan Sugar, who made nothing out of nothing, and sold it for a bastard fortune!

From Wikipedia, so he could have written it himself, I s'pose...

Background

Aldridge founded and led the Capita Group from its formation in 1984 until 2006. During his time as chair the group expanded to a FTSE 100 company employing 27,000 as well as profits increasing each year to almost £200 million in 2006. In 1987 he led the management buyout (MBO) of the group from the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) and the flotation of Capita on the unlisted securities market (USM) in 1989 valued at £8 million.

In 2006 Aldridge resigned as chairman of Capita after it was revealed that he had lent the Labour Party £1 million.[4] The loan, which was secret at the time it was made,[5] was controversial, in part, because Capita is a major public sector supplier.

Prior to Capita, Aldridge worked for Aerotron Limited and in local government for 10 years with East Sussex County Council, Brighton Borough Council, Crawley District Group and West Sussex County Council, joining CIPFA in 1974 ultimately becoming its Technical Director.

Aldridge is a patron and former trustee of The Prince's Trust and was the Chairman of the Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) public services strategy board at its inception in 2003 through to July 2006. He is a former Non Executive Director on the Ministerial Advisory Board of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Services, an Executive Agency of the FCO.

Recognition

He was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1994 New Year Honours for services to the computer industry and was knighted in the 2012 New Year Honours for services to young people.[6] He was given the freedom of the City of London in 1996. He is on the Court of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists.

Aldridge was elected fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2006.

Done and still on 80%

Actually very little of it is his personal money. Not sure I'd see Capita as the beacon of well run business and a company to be particularly proud of building.

 

[Jack Straw]

Done. Still 80%. A landslide victory Shirley?

 

[Drumstick]

Got some Internet finally (in India) and made my vote still a healthy 80% of the vote.
