AN ENTREPRENEUR shared a platform with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

The founder of customer feedback service Shopper Anonymous Jonathan Winchester addressed a 1,500-strong audience at the International Convention Centre alongside the billionaire inventor.

The businessman, who started his career at Harrods, passed on customer service insights based on the 298,000 mystery shops his company has conducted over the past 19 years.

He said: “It was a great experience to have been invited to speak at such a prestigious event.

“Both Steve and I really got the message across that to develop a great business you have to deliver great service.

“Steve is possibly one of the most influential individuals of our generation and he spoke so humbly about his story and how he developed the Apple brand with Steve Jobs. To then spend some time with Steve was one of my bucket list moments.”

Jonathan is now planning a similar event for SMEs in Sussex.

Shopper Anonymous, based in St Leonards, is a franchise that operates across the UK with 16 regional directors, giving 700 clients local support to improve customer service.

Jonathan set up in 2006 after he built one of the biggest customer service feedback companies in Australia and New Zealand.
