  • Business is Good - with Chris Blackwell, Purpose Led Performance

    Chris is the Founder and CEO of Purpose Led Performance. He is an experienced CEO and MD and has led organisations that have achieved incredible growth to become number one in their markets.  Chris’s organisations were recognised seven times as being among the top 100 companies to work for in the UK. Chris spent fourteen years working in organisations that were purpose driven, which was key to their success and growth. 

     

    Subsequent experiences with other organisations led Chris to a realization that those companies were the exception and not the norm. This inspired him to set up Purpose Led Performance, an organisation that provides consultancy and leadership development to scale-ups and charities. Chris supports organisations to become higher performing and faster-growing by clarifying their purpose and putting it at the heart of their organisations. He firmly believes that being purpose driven makes good business sense as it creates clarity, alignment and passion within organisations.

  • Business is Good - with Kate Bagoy

    10 years ago Kate Bagoy quit her soul-crushing job to start freelancing – and failed spectacularly. Now she travels the world & helps creative business owners take off faster than a toupee at a fan factory.  If you’re good at what you do, but have no idea how to market or sell what you do, and you’re ready to transform your career into a lucrative business you can run from the beach, Kate is your lady. She helps you create a customised business plan, marketing plan and roadmap for starting your business, building your brand, replacing your salary, hitting 6-figures and reaching your goals faster. Even if you’ve never run a business before, even if you have no idea where to start… even if you’ve been trying for years and just haven’t been able to give up those golden handcuffs.


    Kate says of herself "I’m basically a nerd and a high-school dropout with an MBA, a zest for life, a penchant for travel, an unbelievably stubborn streak and a passion for helping you create the life YOU love." Check out her inspiring story of a modern business.

  • Business is Good - with Paul Hargreaves

    Paul Hargreaves is one of the leading voices in the UK encouraging and inspiring businesses to move away from simply being about making money to becoming a force for good. Many businesses are realising that to prosper and survive in the 21st century they need to not just look at the financial bottom line of profit, but people and planet too, and in so doing make the world a better place. Within his own business, and through speaking to other business leaders, Paul inspires personal change, his 4th bottom line, to facilitate a change that the world so badly needs.


    Twenty years ago, Paul founded Cotswold Fayre, a speciality food wholesaler, from his house in inner-city London whilst also engaging in charitable work within his community trying to change lives for the better. The company grew rapidly to become the leading wholesaler in the speciality food sector and now supplies around 1,500 retailers within the UK and Ireland from its base in the Thames Valley. The tremendous success of the company has been down to creating a great place to work and one that focusses on changing the world for better, through its carbon reduction, community focus, only selling quality food products and working with a poor rural community in Africa.

    Since 2015 Cotswold Fayre has been certified as a B Corporation. B Corps are companies that meet the highest standards of overall social and environmental performance and Paul is an ambassador for the movement within the UK.

Now she helps other people to find the happy in every day, whatever the scales say. Heidi runs Fasttrack Fitcamp, which in 2019 became a social enterprise
