Best business advice you’ve ever received?
From Jack Hendy, there is somebody in this room (The Guild of Carmen) that will make you a success. It worked for me many years ago: a gentlemen came up to me and said “can you supply me all your fruit and veg from your farms”, the man in question named his business after his wife, her name was Tess Cohen.
