Alan Robinson left school at 16 hoping to make as much money as possible. At first, he worked for his father, who owned several newsagents’ shops in London. "I learnt a great deal about running a business from being in a small shop. You find out that every penny matters." 【B1】______ , and a couple of years later he was offered a job by his uncle. "He asked me to manage a chain of bookshops he had in South Africa and taught me everything I know about management."
When he came back to Britain, Alan was offered a job in London as a product development manager with an exciting new clothes company called Naismith’s. 【B2】______ . "I found I really understood the fashion business and what influences products, 【B3】______ ."
One day in the warehouse he noticed a range of sports clothes that had been sent from a manufacturer in New York for the company to look at. "I took the clothes round the office and everyone loved them. 【B4】______ , so this range was something new." 【B5】______ . However, she was happy with the way things were and, feeling disappointed, Alan decided to leave and try to sell them himself.

F&G were looking for good-quality sports clothes to expand their limited range and asked Robinson to produce items especially for them. Over the next three years the company became his biggest customer.
Robinson Sportswear now makes profits of $2.3m on sales of $10m and Robinson himself is worth over $21m. "Money doesn’t matter to me—what’s really exciting is making deals."
