Going to prison
In my first every proper job after leaving the education system, I sold laser printers for a few months for a company based in London. Every day, I picked up the phone making call after call searching for the one in a 100 company that wanted a three bin laser printer at £3,000+VAT. My first real opportunity came from Heron, the privately owned property company run by Gerald Ronson.
Mr. Ronson, back in 1987 operated with two secretaries churning out 1,400 memos per week – no such thing as e-mail then.
23 years later I pick up and read his autobiography, “Leading From The Front, My Story.”
What a truly inspirational, hardworking talented man he is. An honest man, full of integrity who has given so much back to society. We all recognise that an autobiography may only present one version of events, but reading his book, it is loud and clear he should have never gone to prison for six months over the Guinness affair.
I have decided that when I am back I will write to Mr. Ronson directly and thank him for taking the time out to make my life better by writing such an excellent book.
