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.

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