A Ripe Old Age
Fyfe Robertson has a high and almost forelock-touching respect for business tycoons. And surely, though he'd hate the word, that is what Sir Charles Forte is.
He was just four when he left Italy to join his parents in Scotland, where his father's catering empire was then just one café. Today Charles Forte is undisputed head of the world's largest hotel and catering empire. But this work-addict has always insisted on finding time for play - not only to keep fit, but for the fun of it. Play has included rugby and fencing and surf-riding, but nowadays it means golf and his number one joy and recreation, salmon fishing.
