He's an individual who runs an important company. Whether their performance is down to him personally is something that I don't know, but it doesn't make him any kind of authority on the national economic position. My point, though, was that he'd be ineffective as the spearhead of a No campaign, simply because most people have never heard of him. It's not his fault or JCB's, just a fact.
I presume you have the same opinion of all of the pro-EU businessmen/women - that they do not have any kind of authority on the national economic position? Or is it just eurosceptic business leaders who that applies to?
Yes, I doubt if any individual business chief has a particular authority on the national economic position. And certainly I don't want the head of British Airways or someone like that running the Yes campaign. As Ydo says, it makes sense to quote senior businesspeople as being pro or anti, but as supporting evidence rather than in lead roles, simply because they're not personally well known.
The No problem is that they only have one really well-known spokesman and it's Farage. Everyone else - even, say, Hannan or Hoey - is second division by comparison in terms of public recognition. Do they go for Farage, or for the second division?
They have no choice. Even if Farage were in good health for a 51-year old man, he can't be on every medium, every day.

Yes - we were avid watchers of the Japanese version. ISTR there was an incredibly beautiful and athletic woman who would give the men a run for their money. The UK version would have been a heck of a lot better without the presenters, though. A voiceover would have been fine, although Stuart Hall would no longer be available to do it...

A pleasant Sunday-afternoon read.
I think UKIP would welcome 7 by elections to get their act together, for one thing. Who knows they may even win a seat or two.
