It's okay to fail if you learn from it.

Leadership is service to others.

The leader is the person who brings a little magic to the moment.

Through the Internet of things, 'connected kitchens' will alert consumers if they're running low on broth and when their salad dressing needs to be replenished.

The single most important ingredient in the recipe for success is transparency because transparency builds trust.

People are literally tracking everything. People are becoming more empowered and knowing what's going into their body.

I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.

Food is art and science. So, you take something out, you have to work with the recipe to make sure that you're providing delicious food with cleaner labels.

Innovation requires an experimental mindset.

I am a more rounded person than you see on television. You don't bark your way to being a success.

I don't like anything with too much dependency. Children are very dependent, which is probably why we never had them.

I often see people who I think could be really successful in business but they just don't realise they have the skills and they don't believe in themselves.

People shouldn't choose their careers on whether it's cool or not. They should choose their careers on, 'Are they good at it, do they love it, is it going to give them a good life?'

If someone needs help, I don't do tea and sympathy, but I'm honest and practical - that's how I was brought up.

The one thing I say, I will invest in anything - I don't care what it is - as long as it doesn't cut across my ethical code, because at the end of the day I want to be able to live with myself. I want to feel proud of what I do.

I won't get involved in businesses that I think cut across any kind of animal welfare issues.

Nearly everybody, when they first meet me, seems to have this sense of trepidation.

People can be very serious with me, and expect me to be very businesslike all the time. So I have to help them get over that by showing them that I enjoy life.

I think I'm absolutely perfect. Because if I'm not good at something I completely banish it from my mind. Completely. Like it never happened.

My first paid job was leading pony rides along Minehead seafront when I was eight. I probably got paid sixpence - not much but I loved horses and it gave me a great chance to be near them.

My parents felt I should earn my money because I would then value it. So they would pay me a shilling or two to do jobs such as washing the car, cleaning and washing up.

Both my parents were entrepreneurs and built a nice leisure business. But money was tight when I was growing up.

We have a very good history of manufacturing in this country but I worry that these skills are being lost. We walk around saying, 'We haven't got any manufacturing any more' but Made In Britain really means something, particularly in other parts of the world. We need to support British manufacturing.

It can be difficult to find investment for a new business, particularly one which is highly innovative or breaks new ground.
