LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ XIX Entertainment) Simon Fuller has been recognised for his vision and success with XIX Entertainment by being named as one of the ten greatest British entrepreneurs of all time. The list, which was published on the Daily Mail, was compiled by
Harvey Goldsmith, the renowned promoter of rock concerts, charity concerts, and television broadcasts for the Prince's
Trust and Teenage Cancer Trust.
Goldsmith has praised Fuller for his work in building XIX Entertainment. The extremely successful management business has looked after the interests of many high profile clients, including
