Triumph boss loses £200m

Triumph boss John Bloor has seen his fortune plummet by £200 million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

Bloor, 65, who made his fortune in construction, still has £275 million to his name, making him the 211th richest man in the UK.

This is a fall of 33 places on last year.

Bloor, from Derbyshire, bought Triumph in 1983 after coming across the shuttered factory in the Midlands.

Bloor’s company, Bloor Holdings made a £53.4 million profit on £629m sales in 2006/7.
