Author Bio
Few people know more about reinvention than David Hall, would-be cricketer turned construction worker turned entrepreneur and business thinker. Having failed to make it into the Yorkshire cricket team in the 1960's, he started work as an apprentice plumber, but his employer, recognizing he wasn't a 'natural', sent him for vocational guidance in London. They said I shouldn't be working in the building trade but I was better at persuading people, Hall says. The said I should be a barrister, journalist or management consultant. So he buckled down and to part-time study. After five O-levels came a diploma in management studies, then a masters degree. In 1982, he struck out on his own as a management consultant. In just over ten years, he made his company - the David Hall Partnership - a national business with 14 offices, 120 staff and a GBP6.5m turnover. After selling three-quarters of the company to the staff, he is now working independently and is one of the partners in the new e-business, Entrenet - which hopes to link entrepreneurs over the internet. He is also hoping the BBC will turn his book, In The Company of Heroes, into a TV series. He also wrote and presented the 1990s series, Winning, which won a BAFTA and is a Visiting Fellow of the University of York.
