Description
From humble beginnings in wartime Peckham, Phil Harris's life took an extraordinary turn. His early memories of being carried down into the air-raid shelter by his mother set him on a path that would transform his father's market stall into Britain's biggest carpet retail chain.
Harris's business career was marked by both triumph and challenge, driven largely by instinct and a keen understanding of what customers wanted. His personal story is one of remarkable resilience and determination, as he overcame the obstacles of dyslexia to achieve great success.
Today, Harris is renowned not only for his entrepreneurial achievements but also for his charitable work, including the creation of the first academy school in London, which has since grown into a network of thirty-five schools. His memoirs offer a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of Britain's most influential and philanthropic figures.
