Julian is the co-author of the best-selling book ‘Winning not Fighting – Why you need to rethink success and how you achieve it with the Ancient Art of Wing Tsun.” Written with John Vincent, co-founder of Leon Restaurants, it shows how they grew Leon from £10million to £100 million, created a 45% compound growth and expanded from 17-71 restaurants in just over 5 years.
