Business Q&A with Peter Jones
BUSINESS Q&A
With Peter Jones
Friday 14 November Only:
Time: 2.15pm
As a schoolboy, Peter Jones dreamt of running a multi-million pound company. At the age of 16 after completing the Lawn Tennis Association’s coaching examinations, Peter set up his first company, a successful tennis academy at a local club. By the age of 28, Peter was the youngest ever head of PC Business at computer firm Siemens Nixdorf. In 1998 he started his telecoms business, Phones International Group and by 2005/2006 had recorded a Group turnover totaling in excess of £180 million with over £6 million in pre-tax profits. The Company counts every leading brand in the mobile industry among its business partners, whether as a supplier, customer or collaborator.
In 2003 Phones International Group was recognised as being amongst the most successful businesses in the UK, having been identified as the 13th fastest growing business within the Sunday Times/Virgin Atlantic UK Fast Track League Table. In 2001, Peter was named as Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year by The Times/Ernst & Young Awards and named 14th in the top 40 young entrepreneurs by the Daily Telegraph in 2005.
Peter Jones is perhaps best known as a panelist on BBC’s ground breaking business television show Dragon’s Den which first aired in 2005 and continues to hit our screens today. Now in his early forties, Peter is considered to be one of the UK’s leading young businessmen.
