Jacqueline Gold Biography

Jacqueline Gold is one of the most popular and richest Businessperson who was born on July 16, 1960 in Bromley, United Kingdom. Gold was born on 16 July 1960, the daughter of Beryl Hunt and businessman David Gold. Her father ran a publishing business which introduced sex magazines to the British high street. David apparently wept when Jacqueline was born to his first wife, because he wanted a son. She and her sister grew up in a spacious three-storey house with a large garden and a swimming pool at Biggin Hill, Kent. In August 2007, she was the main participant of the second episode of the BBC Radio 4 series, The House I Grew Up In, in which she described an unhappy childhood. Her parents separated when she was twelve years old.

Gold was appointed CEO of Ann Summers in 1987, transforming it into a multi- million pound business, with a sales force today comprising more than 7,500 women party organisers, 136 high street stores throughout the UK, Ireland, and Channel Islands and generating an annual turnover of £117 million in 2008 although sales and profits have fallen in recent years. The reported sales for the period 2006/7 were down somewhat to £110 million. They have since fallen back to 2002/3 levels. The takeover of Knickerbox in 2000 added another five stores, with Knickerbox concessions in every Ann Summers store.

In 2007, Gold was voted the second Most Powerful Woman in Retail by Retail Week, the Most Inspirational Businesswoman in the UK in a survey by Barclays Bank and handbag.com, one of Britain’s Most Powerful Women by many publications including Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and Woman magazines, one of Britain’s 100 Most Influential Women by The Daily Mail, Business Communicator of the Year 2004, and was included in Debrett’s People of Today from 2005 for her contribution to British society.

In March 2008, Gold appeared in a celebrity edition of The Apprentice. She was a member of “The Girls” team, alongside The Hon. Kirstie Allsopp, Clare Balding, Louise Redknapp, and Lisa Snowdon. “The Girls” won the contest raising over £400,000 from ticket sales and sales on the night through a big event at one of their West End stores.

Jacqueline also didn’t like the atmosphere at Ann Summers, which was David Gold’s “upmarket clean” sex shop. Gold says of her introduction: “It wasn’t a very nice atmosphere to work in. It was all men, it was the sex industry as we all perceive it to be”. But, a chance invitation and visit to a Tupperware party at an East London flat in 1981 changed everything – Jacqueline saw the potential of selling sexy lingerie and sex toys to women in the privacy of their own homes. Jacqueline launched the Ann Summers Party Plan – a home marketing plan for sex toys, with a strict “no men allowed” policy. This type of party, which provides women with a forum to meet and talk about sex (and other matters), became so popular that such parties are now regarded as part of British popular culture; this format also provides the company with a convenient way of circumventing legal restrictions about displaying sex toys for sale.
