Jeremy Priestley - Giving Back to Sheffield

Jeremy Priestley grew up in Sheffield, and it was there where he decided to pursue a career in business. After attaining a foundation course in Accountancy, he began to work for local firms. It was with these firms that he was first made a managing partner and inspired to start his own businesses, so he owes a lot to the local Sheffield community. He shows his gratitude by donating to local charities and organizations.

Supporting charities is important for those who have achieved success. The communities where success was fostered right from the start deserve to be supported in return, and often business people enjoy helping others from their homes to achieve success. The positive experience of success that they have enjoyed can be shared with everyone in a small community, and donating to charities ensures that the money goes to the right places.

For Jeremy Priestley, donating to charities is important. South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation, local youth cricket teams and the Daffodil Ball are all organizations which benefit from his generosity. His hard work has put him in a position where he is able to support others financially, but he accepts that others may not be able to achieve success without the money he gives. Hard work is sometimes not enough for those in dire situations, and he believes that allowing people to develop from a young age is important.

Jeremy Priestley gives back to his home town as a show of respect, and because he believes that the local area and support of various firms helped him get to where he is today.
