Interview with Wilfred Emmanuel Jones MBE

Good Business Pays recently announced the appointment of Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE as Non-Executive Director. In a career over 40 years Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, also known as The Black Farmer, has been on a relentless mission to change the world. Wilfred’s journey from impoverished immigrant to multimillionaire farming legend has been unconventional – after school, and a spell in the army, Wilfred’s entrepreneurial spirit helped him create a successful career at the BBC, where for 15 years he was producer/director on food programmes, giving the likes of Gordon Ramsay and James Martin their TV breaks. At 40, Wilfred achieved his dream and bought a 30-acre idyll on the Devon/Cornwall border and, having spotted a gap in the market to create exceptional sausages, created the iconic Black Farmer brand. His products are now sold in all major stores and are nationally known and loved.In this episode of GBPTV, Terry Corby interviews Wilfred and discusses his background as a small business owner, how larger businesses in the Food and Beverage sector are dominant, and the widespread culture of late payment.For more information, including company payment data, resources and campaign information, visit goodbusinesspays.com
