Say Only Enough

On finding myself redundant at the ripe old age of thirty-seven and, therefore, in need of new employment, an alternative opportunity presented itself, to form a company and start my own business. I had no managerial experience, no previous ambition to form my own company or be my own boss, no entrepreneurial inclinations and no money.



With help from a friend, a company was formed. From the combined elements of endurance, resilience, determination, steadfastness, vision, luck, humour and sleepless nights, a very successful company developed. It is now one of the market leaders in its specialist field, and celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. This is not a book offering advice on how to build a successful business. It is more a light-hearted romp and adventure in doing so. It is one that traces the route via an undulating winding road with hazardous bends and obstructions.



The journey provides unfolding opportunities to view the distant horizon, where awaits the lush green valley of the final destination.
