Peter Thornton is ex Chairman of one of Britain's largest confectionary companies (Thorntons). He spent 35 years in the family business, and is now an independent business consultant, specialising in advising family businesses.
"A gripping family saga, packed with enough tragedy, triumph and conflict to make many novelists green with envy. Forget any thoughts you had of a dry business memoir -- this is a man with a remarkable story to tell, and the skill to do it." -- Stephen Booth, international award-winning author of the Ben Cooper & Diane Fry Crime Series "An unglossed account of how Thorntons grew from one shop to a GBP100 million turnover business, in spite of deeply dysfunctional leadership. Peter Thornton's book is also a great page-turner. Whether you are a business or a generalist reader, I commend this book to you." -- Alistair Blair, Investors Chronicle "A bittersweet account of the history of Thorntons." -- Western Morning News October 2008
