The founder of the Kwik Fit garage chain, Sir Tom Farmer, has died at the age of 84.
The Edinburgh-born businessman died peacefully at his home in the city on Friday, his family said.
He built the company into the world’s biggest independent tyre and automotive chain, selling it to Ford for £1bn in 1999.
Sir Tom owned a majority stake in Hibernian FC for more than 20 years, selling his interest in the club in 2019.
