Getting Prepared For Dragons Den

It is all systems go this week, there are still a few elements to the new offices that have to be addressed and I am busier than ever. Dragon’s Den Series 7 filming starts next weeks so there’s a lot to get done before then as I’ll be on set almost every day for the next month!

My week is full of meetings with very diverse people, I have meetings with ambassadors one day to discuss plans for the Ethnic Minority Business Task Force, and the next I am interviewing candidates for the new Brand Manager role.I love the buzz in the office and enjoy being involved in everything that is happening in the company. I make the time each week to catch up with projects my investment team are involved in and ensure things are on track. It’s important to use my time carefully as I don’t have a lot of it at the moment.

This week Virgin Atlantic approached me to give a motivational speech to its employees. Virgin Atlantic are an airline at the top of their game during such challenging times, With a background in aviation investments I thought it was a great opportunity to take and I was impressed in the way it turned out.

Work is still going on in the offices so I am hoping it will all be finished next week.

All the best,

James
