What do you want to be when you grow up?
Growing up in Torquay was a privilege, with all the wonders of the leafy sheltered coastline, along with all the pomp of the Victorian age legacy. There was always plenty to do and explore.
I wanted to be a train driver, then an astronaut, I could be anything I wanted to be!
In at the deep end!
In the early 80s, Torquay’s hospitality business was booming! Back then it was all about wine bars, bistros, and nightclubs and there were plenty of them to choose from.
I worked for the Mathiew Brothers, who then owned the majority of the success stories. By the age of 15, I worked up to an assistant chef. On the head chefs’ day off, I was in left in charge and …
Left Home
Do you want to hitch down to Greece with me, a friend asks? OK, sounds great, said I! A few weeks later, I was sleeping on the floor in Calais ferry terminal!
With my trilby, 1950 woollen trench coat, rucksack and sleeping bag and not much else, the real world was unrepenting.
Sleeping in corn fields, train station floors and eating cold ravioli …
The Streets Of London are paved with Gold.
I was working as a glass collector in a city bar in the Barbican. It was the last night of the current management and it was a big party! The next day we were all sacked! During the night, I was offered a job washing barrels in a microbrewery in the East End of London. Godsons & Chudley brewery was its name, and it was by run by two Irish brothers, Patrick and Finnian Fitzpatrick …
Becks Beer
The interview went well, and I was gainfully employed, along with two others, to expand the already successful wine and beer wholesaler Maison Caurette.
Working from a railway arch near London bridge train station, I became a Becks Beer sales person with along with a shiny new Ford Sierra!
They took me on to market and sell the newly imported Beck’s beer to the wines bars in central London …
Travel Bug
As a kid we had students for years from all over. Torquay is a popular English language centre and draws international status. Supanit had stayed with us for a year or so, as an opare.
My flight took me to Bangkok, with an intended two-week stop over en route to Australia, along with a years working visa. I was met by Supanit and her Mum at Bangkok International airport.
Sol Beer
Sol Beer from Mexico (Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery) had taken off in London. Yet another true brand!
Consumers had discovered that Sol beer, tasted much better with fresh lime in it. The theatre of a clear glass bottle with its painted lable, golden coloured beer, with fresh lime in the top, was destined for success, especially as it cost more than a pint of beer. These were strange times. It seemed that the more the cost, the better it would sell.
My first PC
I first came across a computer whilst in Sydney. I befriended two Aussies, one of which used a PC for number crunching, with dreams of taking the risk element of rising and falling stocks. I also read History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russel, and The Ego and the ID by Sigmund Freud; An interesting bunch!
Some years later, Aussie Dave arrived with his UK working visa and lodged with me in London; along with his laptop …
Jacksons Root Beer
With all this new technology at hand together we created and launched my very own brand, Jackson Root Beer, made by the Three Stetsons Brewing Company, London SE1. The banks chucked money at me, and I was out on my own.
An interesting journey. A root beer you ask, well why not! The product design, packaging, and the merchandising were all created by using Corel Draw …
TNT Cider
TNT, the most successful cider ever launched!
Against the norm, the Round Brothers created a stir in the drink industry in the early nineties, with an evolutionary concept, T.N.T. cider. A new bottle, a new opener and a new sleeving process to name but a few, it was brilliant, good on them!
With a hand made wooden sample, along with my printed Filofax full of hungry contacts, off I went …
