Critics Review
If only I had read this book at the beginning of my career, where would I be now?
If only I had read this book at the beginning of my career, where would I be now? – Sir Terence ConranThis book isn’t just about business. It’s also about life. That’s why you should read it. – Sir John HegartyOne of the most honest books I’ve read in a long, long time. Maybe forever. – Erik Hansen * tompeters.com *Crammed with ideas and rich in the kind of quotations that have a way of giving you a jolt up the spine and lodging themselves in your brain. * Time Out *
About The Author
Roger Mavity
Stephen Bayley (Author)
In the 1970s, Terence Conran plucked Stephen from the obscurity of provincial academe to do his good works. One result was The Boilerhouse Project, promoting design in London’s V&A, which became the most successful gallery of the eighties. Another result was the influential Design Museum. Stephen has since become one of the world’s best-known commentators on design and popular culture.
Roger Mavity (Author)
Roger had been hired by Terence many times, and fired nearly as often. First at the French Gold Abbott ad agency where Roger won the Habitat advertising account; then at two more agencies including Mavity Gilmore, his own business. In 2006 he became Chief Executive of Conran Holdings, Terence’s business empire, where he stayed for seven years. Roger also ran his own ad agency for ten years and was Chief Executive of Granada Group’s technology and leisure divisions for another ten years. He quit business to work as a writer and photographer.
