Timeline

1960

Jacqueline Gold (16 July 1960 – 16 March 2023) was a British businesswoman who was the executive chair of Gold Group International, Ann Summers, and Knickerbox.

Gold was born on 16 July 1960, the daughter of Beryl Hunt and businessman David Gold.

Her father ran a publishing business which introduced sex magazines to the British high street.

David apparently wept when Jacqueline was born to his first wife, because he wanted a son.

She and her sister, Vanessa, grew up in a spacious three-storey house with a large garden and a swimming pool at Biggin Hill, Kent.

1972

Having acquired the four stores of the Ann Summers chain in 1972, her father gave Jacqueline, at the age of nineteen, summer work experience in May 1979; Jacqueline was paid £45 a week, less than the tea lady.

Jacqueline also did not like the atmosphere at Ann Summers, which was David Gold's "upmarket clean" sex shop.

Gold says of her introduction: "It wasn't a very nice atmosphere to work in. It was all men, it was the sex industry as we all perceive it to be".

1980

In 1980, Gold married lingerie manufacturer Tony D'Silva, which ended in divorce 10 years later.

1981

But, a chance invitation and visit to a Tupperware party at an East London flat in 1981 as she saw the potential of selling sexy lingerie and sex toys to women in the privacy of their own homes.

Jacqueline launched the Ann Summers Party Plan, a home marketing plan for sex toys, with a strict "no men allowed" policy.

This type of party, which provides women with a forum to meet and talk about sex (and other matters), became so popular that such parties are now regarded as part of British popular culture; this format also provides the company with a convenient way of circumventing legal restrictions about displaying sex toys for sale.

1987

Gold was appointed CEO of Ann Summers in 1987, transforming it into a multi-million pound business, with a sales force today comprising more than 7,500 women party organisers, 136 high street shops in the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands and generating an annual turnover of £117 million in 2008, although sales and profits have fallen in recent years.

After school, Jacqueline began working for Royal Doulton, but decided she did not want to go into management, and asked her father to help her gain some extra work experience.

A second book A Woman's Courage was published in April 2007, this resulted in her being sued for libel by a former employee.
