Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Remarkable story of one man’s journey from having next to nothing to becoming chairman of NEXT and transforming it into one of Britain’s most successful retailers, while secretly battling Parkinson’s Disease
From the Publisher
“David Jones’story offers anyone living with Parkinson’s the optimism and hope that great achievements — in business and in life — are still possible.” Michael J. Fox
“David Jones is one of the most admired men in British retailing…few could have foreseen that the young boy who left school with underwhelming results would grow up to take the battered and almost bankrupt NEXT of the late 1980s and turn it into a multibillion-pound retail success story. Fewer still would have backed him to do this whilst fighting a very private battle with Parkinson’s Disease. The secrets that have led to his successes are revealed in the following pages, and they make great reading.†From the Foreword by Philip Green, Chairman of BHS
“David Jones was plainly a great and inspirational CEO who created a phenomenal growth story.†The Sunday Telegraph
“Many people live with Parkinson’s. David Jones defies it. This story is inspirational to both those with the condition and those without it. Buy this book and David Jones may yet fall into the second of these categories.†Tom Isaacs, Trustee, The Cure Parkinson’s Trust
