THE boss of a chain of 'buy and sell' retail stores makes an appearance on Granada's Flying Start at 7.30pm tomorrow night.

Cash Generator Ltd has a shop in Bradshawgate, Bolton and others in Manchester, Rochdale, Salford, Sale and Hyde.

Mr Brian Lewis's company, which was launched in 1994, is one of the finalists in the popular business enterprise competition.

Heats will be screened each Tuesday and the final winner will get £50,000 and the Maunders Trophy on July 22.

John Maunders Group plc of Urmston has been the main sponsor for eight years.

Mr Lewis said: "Buying and selling used goods maybe does not sound like Branson or Maunders so I have worked hard to prove my sound business base and as a mature entrepreneur television can only be a positive experience."
