Peter Jones Biography

Peter Jones is a fantastic conference and keynote speaker. Peter dreamed of controlling a multi-billion-pound corporation as a child, and he made his ambitions come true by establishing a £200 million empire as the owner, chairman, and CEO of a variety of companies spanning from telecommunications to publishing and media. He's a well-known entrepreneur, TV personality, and business speaker. Peter Jones has a vast list of accomplishments behind him, including the success of his business. Peter founded his first firm, a successful tennis academy at a local club, at the age of 16 after passing the Lawn Tennis Association's coaching tests. Jones was the youngest-ever head of PC Business at Siemens Nixdorf when he was 28 years old. In 1998, he launched his telecommunications company. The company, which is divided into four major operational businesses, saw rapid development, with sales reaching £14 million in the first year and £44 million in the second. Every major mobile brand, whether as a supplier, customer, or collaborator, is counted among the group's commercial partners. Phones International Group was named the 13th fastest growing firm in the UK on the Sunday Times/Virgin Atlantic UK Fast Track League Table in 2003, making it one of the most successful businesses in the UK. Jones has also earned a number of personal honors, including being awarded Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year by The Times/Ernst & Young in 2001 and the Daily Telegraph's top 40 young entrepreneurs in 2005. Telecommunications, business services, entertainment, publishing, property, leisure, and television are among Peter Jones's various commercial interests. Jones's appearance on the BBC's groundbreaking business television show Dragon's Den in 2005 was a watershed moment for him. Following the company's collapse at the hands of fellow Dragons' Den panelist Rachel Elnaugh, Peter bought struggling events firm Red Letter Days with business partner Theo Paphitis and is devoted to ensuring the company's success. Peter also created Wines4Business, an online store that sells wine and champagne to businesses, Mymarina.com, a company that provides wireless connectivity to marinas in the United Kingdom, and Wonderland Magazine, a new luxury lifestyle publication. Duncan Bannatyne, Deborah Meaden, and Richard Farleigh, who play Peter and the Dragons, have authored a book called "Dragons Den: Success from Pitch to Profit." In 2006, Peter debuted a fresh new TV series in the United States called The American Inventor, which became an instant smash for ABC, America's largest television network. In 2007, it was re-commissioned for a second season. Peter secured a multi-million-pound agreement with ITV in April 2007 to create and feature in business-themed TV shows for two years. The Tycoon was the first of these, and it featured Peter exploring the United Kingdom for the next big Business Tycoon, as well as his own book, 'The Tycoon: How to Turn Dreams into Millions.' Levi Roots and his tremendously profitable Reggae Reggae Sauce was Peter Jones's most successful Dragon's Den venture - Levi started with nothing and is now a billionaire. In 2008, Peter founded the National Enterprise Academy, which is government-backed and focuses on training enterprise and entrepreneurial skills. He's featured on Top Gear and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and was the 'fund-raising expert' on the BBC's Sport Relief 2010 after a request from David Walliams. He also likes a round of golf, and in 2010 he took part in the Enterprise Golf Challenge to benefit The Peter Jones Foundation. Peter's outstanding expertise and knowledge, both in the boardroom and in front of television audiences, make him an engaging keynote and conference speaker.
