999,
You are unlikely to get any paid training or sponsorship. I am sure that experience and management skills would out weigh the age issue when applying for a job. Ask yourself the following questions:
Can you afford the training?
Will your family put up with it?
Could you put up with £20k as a first officer?
If the answer to all of these is yes then get yourself a class 1 medical and go for it.
If not do a PPL and fly for fun.
