Product Description

Synopsis
While Morris Clegg's book purports to be an autobiography, it is in effect a remarkable chronicle of achievement and success--a 'how to' manual on how to succeed in life, whether at sea or in business, written from personal experience by a man who was not afraid to take risks, and who, apart from establishing a 'laundry' empire as a successful industrialist, became sought after by banks, financial institutions and investment panels to advise on new businesses. Reflecting on his experiences in factory planning, company acquisitions and management, Morris inadvertently offers a wealth of commonsense advice on many aspects of business and personnel management. For anyone interested in the realization of personal and business goals, with the necessary ingredients of resilience, commitment and perseverance, this book is a 'must read'!

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly readable and inspirational autobiography, 12 April 2005
By A Customer
The life story of a Lancashire businessman might not at first glance be the most appealing read. But this book contains anecdotes and lessons that will appeal to everyman. It is the story of a consummate risk taker. Morris Clegg started with nothing and his business life is full of highs and lows. On one occasion, he nearly loses everthing but his resilience, commercial flair and strong decision-making contribute to the creation of a highly successful laundry business, the largest privately owned in the north west of England. He is an unapologetic capitalist, but a modest and benevolent one too.

It is also a tale of an agile mind, a man who sold his business in his 50s and has continued to play a full and active role in other commercial activities and other walks of life.

Underpinning all this are the priorities he places on life itself: a strong Christian faith, a philanthropic edge and an abiding love, affection and dedication for his wife, four children and eleven grandchildren.

We could all benefit from reading this short, well-written autobiography. Morris Clegg's main conclusion is that one never stops learning from life's experiences - surely a guiding principle everyone, whatever their age or situation, would do well to adopt!
