    "Portakabin to Premier League Kid" is how I have been christened by the football industry.

    I learnt a lot from John Madejski about business excellence. Do things the right way and the right things will happen. The journey was a fantastic one.

    Consulting with all the Value Partners along the way, I had the chance to mix with thousands of business people, hundreds of thousands of customers and hundreds of staff. One of the highlights was The Business Club, a networking club for regional business owners, run for the benefit of those owners via the club.

    A leisure complex, hotel, stadium, conference centre - you name it, I was involved and.........yes, I a truly fantastic position and I loved every minute.

    I am waiting for the John Madejski biography to come out some time in the future. It's a story worth telling as he has the mind of a business genius. Perhaps he hasn't finished the final chapter? That gives me an idea.........!!!

  • Business Manager

    EMAP PLC

    (Public Company; EMA; Publishing industry)

    January 1993December 1997 (5 years)

    Doubling revenues and circulations was fun.

    A bit of a highlight was working with editorial and design geniuses before, during and post Euro 96 when a few of us took a kids football magazine to a stratospheric 250,000 a week peak. It seemed every 10 year old in the country was reading our baby.

    Amazing to think we had HP Match beans and burgers and Wall's Match lollies selling in the millions. (Where are the football lollies now? Oh yes, the football lolly now is with the agents.....)

    Just having the conversations about intellectual property rights with Manchester United and Everton were worth the entrance price alone, ( Everton is a part of Liverpool so we're printing the stickers!)

    And I'll never forget the freelancing I did for Wotsits and the £1277 I was paid (which resulted in a 17% uplift - I didn't really understand royalties back then!)

    Happy days and great experience. Hello to anyone that was there and part of it.

    Anita Roddick asked me to run her King's Road store. How could I refuse? A bundle of laughs, a great experience and what a fantastic entrepreneur. I am sad that she is gone, but a tremendous influence on me and many others.
