Show notes:
Episode one: We hear the story of scaling Ann Summers with true purpose: from breaking into a male-dominated industry, challenging the stereotypes and pandemic pivots. And most importantly, Jacqueline shares her personal story, which has included life-changing obstacles she’s dealt with through optimism, determination and true awe-inspiring grace.

We learn from Jacqueline about the incredible work she does to empower women in the bedroom, including inclusivity and raising awareness around what every woman needs to enjoy their sex life. Through her own personal journey with breast cancer, Jacqueline has created a platform which allows women to understand their bodies and how different things including cancer treatment can have an impact on their sexual wellbeing, and has created products and understanding to fully support women no matter their situation.

The episode also sees Jacqueline share the heart-breaking story of losing her baby boy Alfie at just 8-months, following an emotional journey with IVF.

Empowering women in business is also incredibly important to Jacqueline, which led to create ‘WoW’ – Women on Wednesdays - #WOW offers a place for women to network and celebrate each other’s successes, whilst gaining support and advice to grow their businesses.

Jacqueline talks through challenging moments which have shaped her, the way she sees empowerment and the ways she continues to inspire others – a must-listen episode.

Jacqueline Gold CBE – Biography:
Jacqueline Gold CBE is Executive Chair of Ann Summers, renowned for managing a business run by women, for women. Jacqueline is an activist for women in business, championing female entrepreneurs and, through sharing her own experiences, aims to better the working environment for women. Her attitude towards female empowerment and gender equality inspires countless generations of women to pursue their dreams and celebrate their successes, not least her daughter Scarlett.
After starting her career aged 21, Jacqueline has made Ann Summers the profitable success it is today through hard work, determination and a belief in a concept that had never been seen before. With no formal business training, Jacqueline ascribes her success to understanding women, good instincts and always listening to her customer.
It was this business intuition and knowledge of the female customer that helped Jacqueline come up with the Ann Summers Party Plan idea, adapting the idea of ‘at home’ parties to bring sex toys and lingerie to women in a new environment. Jacqueline’s proposal was initially met with resistance but her idea was proven an instant success with hundreds of women keen to become party organisers and even more wanting to attend parties themselves. This was the first step in developing the reimagined Ann Summers we know and love today, changing the sex lives of men and women in the UK forever.
Jacqueline’s career journey hasn’t always been plain-sailing, with some difficult challenges along the way including one extremely frightening moment when she received a bullet in the post after setting out to bring sex to the high street. However, unperturbed, Jacqueline persevered and has achieved unparalleled success with Ann Summers.
