Bill
Cullen
Author and Public Figure
It's the classic, wonderful, rags to riches story.
The young Dublin lad, born and bred in the tough
inner city area of Summerhill, selling goods on the
streets of the capital since the age of six to put food
on the family table.
In this fascinating interview with Weeshie, Bill Cullen recalls,
in graphic detail,
his life and times; and how he took over the troubled Renault
car distribution,
turned it around and produced a group that now has an annual turnover
of €250 million.
While you can read Bill's absorbing and human story in his superb
book,
"It's A Long Way From Penny Apples", listening to this
hour-long interview is an
experience not to be missed.
It will bring you joy and sadness, laughter and maybe even tears.
