YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sky's Ian King speaks to ex-advertising exec Sir Martin Sorrell, about his departure from WPP and what Brexit could mean for his new firm.

The businessman built WPP into the world's biggest advertising company over 32 years before his departure.

He told Sky's Ian King: "It's not personal… if ever there was a revenge element to it, the challenge is to build the new age, new era model that will be successful."

The 73-year-old has an estimated worth of almost £500million, Sir Martin Sorrell is showing no sign of stopping.

"I can't see myself retiring to the beach or the golf course," said Sir Martin. "I think golf is for old men. I really want to remain active."
