Jessica Meets Sir Richard Branson

29-Jul-2010

Earlier this afternoon, Jessica had the pleasure of meeting Sir Richard Branson, during his whirlwind visit to Sydney. The meeting took place in the offices of 5 Oceans Media, Jessica’s management company, who are also producing her documentary.

Sir Richard was recording the voiceover for the documentary, which will be broadcast nationally in Australia on One HD on 16 August at 7.30pm, then will be released on DVD by Sony Music. 

“It was pretty cool to finally meet Richard. He has been a big supporter right from the start and we kept in touch during my voyage,” said Jessica.

“I’m also really grateful that he took time out of his hectic schedule to pop into the edit suite to narrate the doco.”

Speaking of hectic schedules, Jessica has also embarked on one, starting today with the launch of her book, True Spirit, with the first signings taking place today at the Sydney International Boat Show and then at Humphrey’s at Manly.

This evening, Alan Jones AO will MC the official launch of her book, with 700 guests attending.

Jessica will be touring Australia throughout August, then will head to the USA next month.
