Guy Garfit is getting ready to launch his first business, an online shop selling large-print books for the visually impaired, at the end of March.Like any entrepreneur, he is alternately excited and nervous, constantly fretting about delays and spending every waking hour focusing on his venture. Unlike the majority of entrepreneurs, however, Garfit is not a fresh-faced school leaver or a disillusioned mid-twenties career breaker. Garfit is 58.
What’s more, he is not alone.
