The Triumph motorbike company celebrated the launch of two limited edition bikes by fashion designer Sir Paul Smith (qv) last year. It was another example of how Bloor, 62, does not miss a trick in promoting the Triumph marque he owns. Triumph’s parent is Bloor Holdings, run and owned by Bloor. A miner’s son from Derbyshire, he built Bloor Holdings into a £500m Midlands housebuilder. Bloor owns it all and we add £25m for other wealth.
