Hi Rachael,

I hope you have now found a way OUT of administration as I felt the ‘Destination’ game series was a brilliant idea.
Ironically I watched a repeat of the Dragon’s Den series where you pitched to the Dragon’s and got ripped apart by them. SO glad you DID prove them wrong!

You really made me think hard recently though, as I did a bit of Taxi driving two years ago AND I graduated from the University of Portsmouth in 1998. Being currently out of work again now, I have contemplated going back into taxi driving again briefly in order to finance another way to get out of the mess I am currently in and start my own business idea.

I would love to know how you are getting on now and whether you have managed to pick the business up again and going from strength to strength?

I really do like your determination and driving force. Keep going, and you WILL get there, where ever ‘there’ might be in your mind.

Good luck,

Neil

Comment on Rachel’s Campaign… making the jump by Emily

I completely agree. Having been through the whole support system I felt my business was stagnating at the start up stage for many years!!

When I ignore all the business support miraculously my business expands and grows naturally. I really think it’s a dilemma when business owners want support to expand their businesses only to encounter more start up stage support that ticks the right boxes for the enterprise agency/ies.

It is a frustrating thing indeed.

We need to have more support for the needs of the business rather than the needs of these support agencies.

Weird, I was just going back and watching the first series of DD (missed it first time), then looked up destination.. to see how you were doing.. hoping you were still flicking a v up at the dragons that didnt invest..kinda sad to see this.. you were very impressive and most of all always dignified.. this must be a crushing blow.. but I pick you to come back fighting, the true measure of character is measured in adversity, and you’ve got it. keep fighting the good fight darling.

Hi Rachel

I hope everything is going well and great news about the MBE. I knew you would be back, as a woman who works as hard as you with all those ideas deserves to be at the top. If there is anything I can do, just let me know. Howard

Hi Rachael
I am just watching your stuff on panorama
it absolutely discusts me when the merchant wankers have been SO incompetent pimped up the biggest property bubble in history which anyone with any intelligence could see would end in tears (govt, bankers, and estate agents obviously don’t qualify)

When you do pick yourself back up enjoy telling them to sod off
good luck
Adrian

Comment on Destination Brand for Sale by Yuri

Yuri — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:35:31 +0000

Hi Rachel,

I am just wondering, what is the approximate amount of investment needed to push the deal through, so that you could continue trading, because I see this as a strong Brand and it looks potentially as a great investment opportunity.

Yours sincerely,

Yuri

Hi Rachel.

Just watched your Panorama encounter with John Sweeney.

I’m sure you will have learned many lessons from this, and it will spur you on to even greater success in the future.

Don’t let the bawbags get you down.
