SPORTS car entrepreneur Charles Morgan is one of two Worcestershire men to have joined the latest edition of guide to the rich and famous Who's Who - though he was unaware of the honour until we told him.

The managing director of Malvern-based Morgan Motor Company is joined by Stuart Doughty, chief executive of the Costain Group and a governor of King's School, Worcester, among the 1,000 new names making their debut in the 2006 edition.

But Mr Morgan, aged 54, was surprised to hear of his listing when the Worcester News gave him a phone call to gauge his reaction. Usually, people are invited to compile their own entries, so they can include and exclude whatever they like.

Mr Morgan's describes him as the grandson of Harry Morgan, who founded the famous car company, based at Pickersleigh Road, in 1909.

He started his working life as a news film cameraman with ITN (1974-1982) before becoming marketing director (1985-1999) and managing director. His current role is corporate strategy director.

His recreations are listed as skiing, architecture and design and painting.

He said: "Yes, that sounds like me. I expect they got the details from my CV, which is held at the company.

"But I am delighted. It's a great honour and I hope to be able to add some words of

my own in the future!"

Mr Doughty, aged 62, of Kinlet, near Bewdley, said he was contacted by Who's Who after he was made a Companion of St Michael and St George by the Queen in the 2005 honours list for his work improving trade relations with other countries.

He said: "It is a great honour. It's an amazing thing."

Mr Doughty has been a governor at Kings since 1999.

In his entry, Mr Doughty lists his recreations as classic motor sport and houses.

Mr Morgan and Mr Doughty join by fellow Who's Who debutants George Michael and comedian Frank Skinner.

The fugitive Lord Lucan also makes an appearance - despite the fact that he vanished in 1974 and hasn't been seen since.
