The Beckwiths are pioneers of the British travel and tourism industry, and a name firmly etched into the history of the river Thames. When they sold City Cruises in 2019, it was the UK's largest tour boat company, transporting four million passengers a year with a fleet of over forty vessels and a group turnover of 24 million pounds. How they got there was the journey of a lifetime. Gary Beckwith grew up on a deprived East London estate in the 1950s and '60s under the shadow of an absent father. He spent his teenage years wheeling and dealing and harnessing his way with words. By the time he got to the river Thames in his early twenties, he was ready to chip away at an archaic industry that refused to evolve. From his humble beginnings to his conversations with the Queen, from the unrelenting tragedy of the Marchioness to the joys of building a legacy, Gary shares every business lesson he learned along the way. This book is not just about how he made his millions or the visionary mindset that got him there. It's about family, purpose, legacy, and the three generations of Beckwiths that shaped the future of the river Thames.
Autorenporträt
Gary Beckwith is a proud East London native raised by a single mother on a rough council estate. Leaving school at 15, before he could sit his exams, Gary graduated with nothing more than dyslexia and a desire to make money. Over the next five decades, he would discover his education in the business mentors, seminars, and daily experiences he picked up on his entrepreneurial journey.From an early age, Gary knew that if he had any chance of succeeding, he would have to keep learning and, on several occasions, be willing to gamble everything. From creating London's first floating cash and carry to becoming the visionary founder and CEO of City Cruises PLC, Gary would go on to defy the odds time and again. With the help of his wife,Rita, and his children, Matthew and Lucy, Gary and the Beckwiths grew City Cruises from one small pleasure craft to London's largest sightseeing operator and the UK's largest tour boat company, with a fleet of 40 vessels, over four million annual passengers, and a turnover of over 25 million pounds.After selling City Cruises in 2019, Gary has reinvested in many projects, showing a deft ability to pull together struggling operations and turn them into thriving, profitable businesses. Gary spends what little free time he has playing golf, writing books, and public speaking - all in the hope of passing on the education he has spent a lifetime pursuing.
