The Bold Venturers - celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit in England’s North West
The Bold Venturers is a celebration of the spirit of enterprise that exists in England’s North West region, which has an eclectic and fascinating population. The book puts the focus on a relatively small yet remarkable group of men and women of all ages, backgrounds and interests who are an inspiration to others, particularly to younger generations of ‘would-be’ entrepreneurs. Those profiled either work and live in the region, or originate from it, and many enjoy national and global reputations.
The book features successful people from various business disciplines who have proven – and exceptional – entrepreneurial skills and flair: who have risen to the challenges, tackled the difficulties head on, or even faced formidable obstacles, as they have strived to realise their ambitions. It is clear from these profiles that they have all ultimately triumphed.
Indeed, the profiles are a tribute to their determination and self-motivation, often driven by sheer grit but always by exceptional talent and, of course, enthusiasm. Few would argue that entrepreneurs are unusual and many of the accompanying photographs depict them in out-of-the-ordinary situations but – we hope – in a memorable way, as befits their achievements.
