From bags to blenders : the journey of a Yorkshire businessman
Black, Gordon2017
Books
This is a book about success and how to achieve it. While there are many books about eminent retailers, 'From Bags to Blenders' tells the story from a different angle - from the point of view of a supplier. Gordon Black's career at Peter Black spanned over 40 years. He led a team with his brother which built a substantial business with sales of approximately £300 million and 3000 employees. His revealing book faces up to the difficulties of supplying retailers today, and contrasts that with the close and fruitful relationship the Blacks enjoyed in the 1980s and 1990s with their main customer, Marks & Spencer.
