Synopsis

Thirty-eight of Britain's top entrepreneurs reveal their secrets of success in this handbook, explaining why they abandoned their careers and set up their own companies, who advised them, how they dealt with problems of fast growth and how they manage their successful companies today. The entrepreneurs describe their early childhood experiences and their struggles and failures along the path to glory. The book looks closely at some of those entrepreneurs who have taken their companies public in the last ten years. The vast majority of them do so via the Unlisted Securities Market which was specifically created with small, fairly new companies in mind. The Body Shop, Datron Instruments, Renishaw Electronics, Michael Peter Group, Blue Arrow, Osbourne & Little, Thompson, Clive & Partners are some of those chosen - and their founders reveal their very different and often surprising tales of frustration and reward. The book aims to give a picture of a cross-sectional view of the entrepreneurial system in Britain today. Clive Rassam is a management and business journalist, who has worked o n "International Management" as an associate editor.
