Sold for £35
Jeopardy – The Danger of Playing it Safe on the Path to Success: Signed and dedicated in the name of the final bidder’s choice by the author Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE
Donated by: Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE – Country Trust Auction Champion
An inspirational personal development and business guide from the award-winning entrepreneur and Founder of The Black Farmer
Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones was born in Jamaica and moved to the UK with his parents, as part of the Windrush Generation, growing up in inner-city Birmingham. Growing up dyslexic in a family of 11, he found solace in growing fruit and vegetables on his father’s allotment, sparking his dream to have a farm of his own.
After starting his career in the catering industry, he enrolled on a training scheme that led him to work in TV as a producer and director for BBC’s Food & Drink. Wilfred went on to run his own marketing agency which enabled him to fulfil his dream of buying a farm on the Devon & Cornwall borders, from which he launched his award-winning, multi-million-pound Black Farmer brand.
My mission is to break down barriers and create opportunities for people to fulfil their potential, regardless of ethnicity or background. By bringing the rural farm shop experience to urban areas, I aim to bridge a divide and create a community space where everyone can meet, enjoy, and be inspired – Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones
This insightful book inspires readers to be positive about overcoming adversity and failure to pursue ambitions and the path to success.
The book is signed by Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones and will be dedicated in the name of the final bidder’s choice.
