So, who are Gerald and Natalie? And more importantly, how did they meet and what are they bringing you with Gerald Ratner and Friends? 

Gerald Ratner is a British household name. He took over his family’s jewellery business in 1984 which had at that time 130 stores. By 1990 it had 2,500 stores, 25,000 employees, annual sales of 1.2 billion and profits of 121 million. 

Unfortunately he went down in history (he was then Chairman-Chief Executive of Ratners Group, the world’s largest jewellery retail company which included H Samuel and Ernest Jones), when at a corporate speaking engagement in 1991 at the Albert Hall for the Institute of Directors, he described a sherry decanter (one of their products), as total crap. Since then he has reinvented himself, running the UK’s largest online jewellery business Gerald Online, writing two best seller books: the Rise and Fall and Rise Again in 2008 which went on to Audible in 2018  and Reinvent Yourself co-authored with Rob Moore, and become an excellent business mentor and public speaker. 

He is very much in demand as a business speaker and has also built an American business from scratch, building it to over 1000 shops in the USA becoming one of the few UK retailers to succeed on the other side of the Atlantic.

Gerald has been mentoring for many years, more so since the start of the lockdowns when online had to become the way of the world. We are continuing this trend with Gerald and Friends but also bringing in person events and socials into the mix too. 

Not everyone wants to spend a lot of money on 121 mentoring, so Gerald and Friends allows access at a fraction of the price at just £47 a month (or £470 for the year, gaining two months free)

Gerald and Natalie met on a Mastermind Retreat in Dubai hosted by Rob Moore and Mark Homer of Progressive Property. They became good friends and Natalie took on board what she was taught, creating a property business with her Mum, Paula and her own mentoring and coaching business, helping entrepreneurs to be more confident in themselves and their lives, teaching the triangle of life: Health, Happiness and Wealth. An holistic way of coaching and mentoring.

Since 2018 when Gerald and Natalie met they have been in regular contact so much so that Gerald came to be a guest mentor on Natalie’s Retreats too. From here they decided that Gerald and Friends was a great place to collaborate, on business, confidence, events and more with many shared values and views on life and business.

Happy Clients

“Gerald Ratner is informative, challenging, funny and inspirational all at the same time.”

Stuart Turner

Institute of Directors

“A fascinating display of resilience, self-deprecating humour and lessons in ‘what not to do’. Gerald surpassed all our expectations.”

KPMG

“”I spent a number of days masterminding with Gerald. He is a true gentleman. His experience in business is incredible. He listens, is great at seeing the root of the matter in hand, and is straight talking so expect a direct but fair approach. Our time with him was so valuable and much appreciated.”

Jo Balston

JMBH Developments

Gerald was part of a mentoring team that I was fortunate to spend a week with a couple of years ago. His words of wisdom and encouragement are what set me on the path I am on now. He taught me to do what I enjoy and what makes me want to get out of bed in the morning. Have a good business plan to achieve the goals. Don’t expect everything to happen over night, business takes time build and if you are doing what you love you will enjoy it every step of the way.

Gerald’s life experience in the world of business shone through during the week. His positive mind frame and sense of humour enlightened everyone in the room. In my view if a man can hit rock bottom and come back from that and still be standing proud today, then that’s the man I want in my corner advising me when the going gets tough in business.”

Catrina Merrigan

Clover Hill Properties

“Gerald I just want to say thank you for mentoring me, listening to you has been priceless and helped me on my journey to expand my business in a way that I didn’t know was possible. You have been so understanding and approachable that asking for your help has been so easy for me. I love the no nonsense and straight talking advice.”

Jordan Kemp

It’s great being surrounded by likeminded people that you can actually converse with about business, wealth and also life in general.

think we could all do with a group outside of our familiar circles to bounce ideas off and help each other grow 👌🏼

Gerald Ratner is one of the best keynote speakers you will find. If his story was a work of fiction, you would say that it was ‘far-fetched’. My audience of around 130 guests were put through an emotional rollercoaster, from the dizzy heights of Gerald’s career, to the devastating lows of failure– and then back to success again. All told in Gerald’s witty and unique style. He is probably the most underappreciated entrepreneurs of his generation. Gerald Ratner is, quite simply, business royalty.

Ozan Redjep

Entrepreneur and Investor

“A very few achieve exceptional success and enjoy extraordinary wealth. If you do it once in your life, then you’ve achieved something of note. Maybe 1% manage to do this. But… If you did it not just once… but did it TWICE? Then what would that make you? Gerald Ratner did exactly this”
