When the Director of Parkinson Jones, Mr Ralph Jones, passed away very suddenly in September last year, Parkinson Jones, as a sole trader, lost 90% of its earnings over night. Ralph was a member of WIN and a great believer in the group.

I had to help find a way for Parkinson Jones to survive for Mrs Jones, his widow, and when I was asked to take Ralph’s seat at WIN, it was the best decision I made. I needed people to bounce business ideas off and the whole group has been there to do just that.

WIN has supported Parkinson Jones in many ways with advice, recommendations and above all friendship, which in the business world, can be a hard thing to find. It has been a hard struggle but I believe Parkinson Jones is turning a corner – for the better.
