In the latest Self Made Millionaire Magazine, Andrew Reynolds reveals the secrets of how, as an ‘ordinary bloke’ he achieved extraordinary success. Andrew talks to leading journalist Martin Baker about his rise from poverty to Multi-Millionaire status:

The self-effacing demeanour, the quiet voice, and the eyes that glint with an occasional hint of irony bring to mind a low-profile – perhaps highly successful – accountant or surveyor.

That would be a big mistake.
