Businessman Colin Potter sold his company last year for £10 million and gave £2 
million of that to his staff. He now intends to give away all future profits of 
his new business to charity.
His new company, ProposalGENie, offers a web-based 
system for preparing sales proposals. According to Personnel Today, he expects to
start making grants by the end of this year.

Potter, who sold his communications company Uniworld last year, is particularly 
supportive of conductive education charity the Rainbow Centre in Fareham, Hampshire.
He currently spends a day each week fundraising for the organisation.
