Lucky Dan (and Jan) is the warm and witty memoir of Dan and Jan, tracing their journey from wartime childhoods and first jobs to building a thriving freight business, raising a large and loving family, and reflecting on a life rich in partnership, community, and good fortune. Dan's story begins in wartime Leyton, through schooldays of long walks and high spirits, and into a career that took him from early forays in freight all the way to global partnerships in China and Hong Kong. Jan's story weaves alongside his — a love and business partnership that became the backbone of everything they built together. Through the challenges of growing a company, fostering and adopting children, weathering setbacks, and eventually passing the torch to the next generation, theirs is a life defined by resilience, generosity, and an ever-growing tribe. This is a celebration of two people who did it together — and did it well.
