Paul Simons: His Remarkable Life on Land and Sea

$39.95

By Paul Simons
and Lyndall Eeg

Foreword by Lindsay Fox AC

Seaman, Retailer, Woolgrower

Born in Wales, Paul spent his early childhood years amidst the rigours of the Great Depression. As a thirteen year old, educated in Dover, Paul’s experiences of WWII were visceral. A career in the British Merchant Navy took him to all corners of the globe.

Settling in Australia, he took a job at the bottom of the rung of Woolworths, rising through the ranks to become perhaps its most successful CEO. When retirement should have beckoned, a third career as a Superfine Merino woolgrower has occupied Paul to the present day.

A great Australian, a proud Welshman, Paul’s story is a remarkable one.

"This is a remarkable story about a remarkable man.

"His rise to the top is told as is the story of his high standards and honesty which caused him to leave giving up a senior position. His return to Woolworths at the top as Executive Chairman is a story in itself and he turned a struggling company around into the great success it became.

"I treasure the friendship of this fine man. Friendship and family are two of the great joys of life. I am pleased the story is told of this outstanding man" - Lindsay Fox AC
