Times Square book plug for creator of ScS Alan

A FORMER businessman behind the company that became furniture giant ScS will see his latest book promoted in New York’s Times Square.

Alan Share ran Sunderland-based family business A. Share & Sons throughout the 1970s and 80s - introducing the ScS brand - before selling up in the early 1990s.

The 92-year-old Oxford-educated barrister has since penned a number of books which offer wisdom from his life experiences, which also include working for the Liberal Party, significant involvement in the Rotary Club of Sunderland and a school for children with physical disabilities and learning difficulties.

His latest book, Miraculous Images, features pictures almost entirely created on Mr Share’s Iphone with the help of co-author Chat Smith.

Using the idiom “a picture is worth a thousand words”, Mr Share aims to be thought provoking and encourage others to adopt a motto he has lived by, and one associated with the Rotary Club, which is “service before self”.
