Alexander Amosu was named as one of the most influential black Britons in the recently published Power List of Britain’s most influential Black people which Prime Minister Gordon Brown (left) described as,

The Power List panel said of Amosu “Alex is a serial entrepreneur whose influence in the mobile telecoms arena grows yearly.” You can watch Amosu appearing on a Christmas edition of Dragons’ Den here: BBC2 - Dragons’ Den – Around the World.
