The mystery millionaire

Article Abstract:

Tahir Mohsan, founder of Time Computer Systems, the largest manufacturer and retailer of computers in the UK, remains extremely secretive. He will not allow photographs to be taken of him, and has never given an interview to a newspaper or computer magazine. The company operates from an industrial park in Simonstone, England, where it makes more than 2,000 computers a day. Sales in the financial year 1999 to 2000 are forecast to exceed 300 million pounds sterling. Mohsan has gained a reputation for being extremely focused and dedicated, but his appearance is very different from that of a successful businessman.
