BBC Radio 4 - The Untold, The Warehouse that Jack Built

Young CEO Jack needs to earn big this Christmas if he wants to save his global company.

Jack needs to earn big this Christmas if he wants to save his global company, and he won't be able to do it without his friends.

Young entrepreneur Jack needs to earn big this Christmas if he wants to save his global company.

Jack is only 27, but he's already CEO of his own firm. He left school  to start up an online business, establishing a successful international trade in fancy dress costumes...until the pandemic hit. With everything he'd built under threat, he's decided to risk it all on a new venture: BargainFox, an online store selling discounted items. 

It's an industry full of big players, with whom he'll have to compete. He's invested a lot and expanded the workforce, including hiring school friends, but needs to see huge returns if they are going to survive.

Grace Dent follows Jack and his team through the autumn and into a make or break Christmas season.
