I heard on the radio this week that someone involved with BHS recently had been an ex-racing driver, but I hadn't caught the name on that occasion.

Two sentences from his Wikipedia article stood out as relevant here:

Chappell launched the Interactive Sportscar Championship in the UK in 2001. The series folded after one race.

Chappell has been a director of various companies, and has been made bankrupt three times and entered into an individual voluntary arrangement once.

Not the whole story, sure, but still rather rejectful elements to the story.
