What Jamie Oliver\’s Restaurant Fifteen Is All About
I’m a fan of Jamie Oliver’s shows, I used to watch them everyday when I got back home from school and I didn’t consider Jamie Oliver and Fifteen as a social enterprise until we learned about it in class. Jamie Oliver was willing to take great risks, for example, in order to start this social enterprise, Jaime had to put up his house as collateral without telling his wife. Jamie is successful because Fifteen turned out to be such a well known global brand. According to Jamie : “I love that Fifteen is a real business, providing not only the place where young people get brilliant training, but also much of the cash to pay for that training. Fifteen truly is a social enterprise.” During the process of establishing Fifteen, they haven’t always got it right, but they didn’t give up. And without taking risks they won’t be able to make progress.
