By: Emma Haslett

Add as a preferred source on Google

Gordon Black is the man behind best-selling clean eating craze the Nutribullet – and the richest retail tycoon you've never heard of.

He joins the team from Yorkshire to tell the story of his family's business, Peter Black, and explain how it became one of Marks & Spencer's largest suppliers – as well as when to keep a business in the family, and when is the best time to sell.

He also discusses how he identifies the next big retail craze – from multivitamins to Adidas bags – and how he gets into the market before anyone else.
