Mike is founding owner and chief executive of Dreams, Britain’s leading Bed Specialist, which now comprises over 150 bed superstores nationwide and has its own UK manufacturing facility capable of producing over 1m beds a year. The Vocational Rich List tracks the fortunes of businessmen and women who started their career having completed a training course or having gained a vocational qualification, and who have then used this as a springboard to greater success.
The Vocational Rich List reveals a wealth of millionaires from right across the UK – all of whom have made a substantial return on investment since the first City & Guilds list -
- Over the last five years the 25 wealthiest ‘Rich Listers’ have tripled their fortunes - from £2.7bn to £9.3bn.
- On average these 25 each have £372 million banked away in shares, property and other investments. Compared to the first ever City & Guilds study, these individual fortunes have risen by approximately 250%, a far better rate of growth than the 12% rise in the average UK salary over the same five year period.
- Sixty eight per cent of these gold-plated Rich Listers are still in the same industry they started out in, illustrating how the hands-on route can lead to a lifetime of success.
Mike Clare says:
“This list is a fantastic way to change perception that work based education is the ‘poor relation’ to the traditional academic route. The Vocational Rich List sends out a strong message that it is possible for people who choose the vocational path to amass personal wealth and, what’s more, to become industry leaders.”
Dreams has over 150 Superstores nationwide and continues to offer its customers massive choice, lowest prices and next day delivery, which is why Dreams is Britain’s leading Bed Specialist.
