The Boland Show Guest list Wednesday 5th May…Maurice’s first guest Polly Tommey bold campaign to increase awareness of autism has been causing controversy. She was finding it difficult to attract attention to her campaign for increased awareness of autism, so she took her top off and posed, Wonderbra-style, for billboard posters beneath the words 'Hello Boys. Autism is worth over 6 million votes. It's time to talk....' Polly's own son Billy, 13 is autistic and last year she was invited to Downing street after putting her phone number on a billboard inviting Gordon Brown to Call. She is now hoping the Conservatives will come back with some concrete policies as well'
A Muslim protester who daubed a war memorial with graffiti glorifying Osama Bin Laden and proclaiming ' Islam will dominate the world' walked free from court last week after prosecutors ruled his actions were not motivated by religion. Boland’s next guest Conservative MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of the Parliamentary Counter Terrorism sub-committee said that this was an outrage against our war dead.
Being a Wednesday the second hour is ‘Enterprise’ with three very successful entrepreneurs…First up is David Hall who is now 67 and still the chairman of the publishing company has no plans to retire just yet. The company specialises in angling magazines, employs more than 80 people and turns over £6m a year.
After working for Gordan Ramsay as a commis chef Mark Pearson asked himself was this really what he wanted to do for the rest of his life with his low wage and long hours. In 2006 Mark spotted a business opportunity and named it My voucher codes, turnover soared to 1 million pounds in 2007 in the first year, growth since then has been rapid. So what’s the secret of his success this and more will be revealed on the show
And finally In 2002 Michael Parker had his winning idea. He designed a website using a free demo disk from a magazine. The idea was to create a website where people could have boxes of traditional sweets sent to them. He owns 100% of the business which now sells 700 different varieties and turnover last year was about 3 million pounds.
