“One thing I know, the other I noticed… No man is an island, many in business think they are self made men!"
From Kriss's personal thought-pieces, to news direct from The Akabusi Company HQ, read all about the latest happenings right here!
My earliest memory is at eight years old, sitting on a train with my younger brother. Our uncle had alighted a few stops earlier, and there we were – two young lads, me with a bar of Bournville chocolate, my brother with a bar of Dairy Milk. As the train pulled into its terminus, we sat, watching everyone get off. The guard came and asked us what we were doing and, once our faces indicated we had no idea, the police then came for us.
The next thing I remember is sitting at King’s Cross Police Station, with everyone asking if we were ok. I still had one piece of chocolate left, and I noticed it was getting dark outside. Eventually, we were bundled into a car and driven out to the countryside to a short-stay children’s home in Enfield, where we’d be just until the authorities located our correct whereabouts.
That was in 1966. Little did I know I wouldn’t leave until I joined the army in 1975.

Read More HereIs it just me, or is the treatment of Prime Minister May extending from cringe-worthy into outright bullying?
Perhaps I'm getting old, but in my view, such open abuse and hectoring of an employee in the workplace is completely out of order. I thought the same when the leader of the opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, experienced similar public personal attacks during his first year in office.
My question: is this really acceptable in 21st-century Britain?

Read More HereAs you know by now, I spend a lot of time thinking about the purpose of our lives, and what it really means to be.
But recently, three things happened to me that really brought something home. Regardless of how much we think about our lives, our purpose and our being, the context for that being is set by parameters beyond our control. And our identity – something we believe to be so personal to us and so within our control – is determined by rules and frameworks which dictate to us who we are, how to act, and how to be.
