Jimi Heselden
James William "Jimi" Heselden〔(Jimi Heselden: Miner who used his redundancy money to become a businessman and philanthropist ), ''The Independent Obituary'', 2 October 2010.〕 OBE (27 March 1948 – 26 September 2010) was a British entrepreneur. A former coal miner, Heselden made his fortune manufacturing the Hesco bastion barrier system. In 2010, he bought Segway Inc., maker of the Segway personal transport system.〔 Heselden died in 2010 from injuries apparently sustained falling from a cliff while riding his own product. His estate, bequeathed to his widow and family, was worth over £340 million and he was ranked in the top 400 members of the ''Sunday Times Rich List''.〔
==Early life==
Heselden grew up in the Halton Moor district of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.〔 At the age of 15, Heselden left Osmondthorpe Secondary Modern School to work as a labourer and then at collieries in Temple Newsam and Lofthouse.〔〔 He lost his job in the wave of redundancies that followed the 1984–85 miners' strike and spent his redundancy money on renting a workshop and, at first, setting up a sandblasting business.〔 He then worked on developing and patenting a collapsible wire mesh and fabric container, now called Hesco bastion, to be used for building flood management and to limit erosion.
