James Timpson is the CEO of Timpson a very successful and growing retail business with over 2,000 shops across the UK. He’s also Chancellor of Keele University, Chair of the Prison Reform Trust and is the National Chair of the Employment Advisory Board, which works closely with New Futures Network and the Ministry of Justice helping those in prison secure a job on release.

Liam Black is the no-nonsense Chairman of The Conduit and a veteran of purpose driven business in the UK. Drawing on a treasure trove of experience as a founder, investor, chairman, CEO and mentor, Liam has put pen to paper to bring us a new book – How To Lead With Purpose: Lessons in life and work from the gloves-off mentor. It is a no-bullshit, woo-woo-free book about how to align purpose and leadership, how to deal with uncertainty, imposter syndrome, anxiety and loneliness along the way, how to exercise authority (even in the face of endemic sexism), and when it’s right to walk away.
