PPP Love Enterprise


PPP Lecture – 10/1/2012

Love Enterprise
Andy Peers

Andy was a 10-year-old acrobat champion
Dropped out of a levels to eventually become area manager of the big issue and succeeded

Love Enterprise – a passion for social businesses
Want to support business companies and individuals that want to use enterprise to take their companies forward

As a kid Andy learnt how to lose well and how to win well
Without care and support from his parents from an early age he wouldn’t have benefited
Learnt to become not just a good gymnast, but a good person

Lessons; whatever you do, you don’t know it all. Friends are there to support you and kick you up and ass when you need help
Find a mentor that’s been down your path and can help and teach you
We all have our limitations but hard work will go a long way

Andy learnt guitar and believes he had a gift to learn so he could teach his head-teachers son the guitar, who went on and got an A in GCSE’s and diploma in music.

If you do something to the best of your ability its amazing where it can take you in life.

I have a choice to make my life as disciplined as I want. Andy worked at WHSmith and Burger King
He loves a challenge of social business
Believes many of the managers at WHSmith wouldn’t have been able to turn around the big issue like he did because of his personality
