Meeting Mary Portas, a retail revolutionary
'I'm bossy,' says Mary Portas. 'I can't make out I'm Mother Teresa. But you have to be bossy to get things done.' Being bossy is her business. She has bossed everyone from shopkeepers to retail giants and, when it comes to reinvigorating the British high street, was recently invited by David Cameron to have a go at bossing the government, in the form of the Portas Review. I'm sure that at Yellowdoor, the communications agency (her clients include Clarks, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Westfield and Louis Vuitton) she founded in 1997, she bosses till she's blue in the face, because she's a doer who expects those around her to be doers, too. Slackers get short shrift.

The kid beat men five years his senior. 'He was a very raw talent, but it was clear that there was something special about him,' says Simms. 'The whole world was talking about him.'
