Spotlight: Building a Senior Leadership Team

If you’re growing a business, you can’t do it alone. Entrepreneurs know they need a strong aligned leadership team but getting the right team in place is arguably the most difficult aspect of scaling a business. Most leaders get this wrong and mistakes are costly.

Join us for our Spotlight Event with Andrew Walton of Connect Health who will explain how he built his team to deliver outstanding business success. He’ll discuss the stumbles he encountered along the way and what lessons he thinks entrepreneurs should take note of when building their own leadership team. 

Founded by Andrew in the late 80’s, Connect Health now turns over £100m and delivers services at scale to the NHS and was recently ranked #56 on Insider Media’s North East Owner-Managed Businesses 100 for 2024 – a list of the region’s 100 largest owner-managed businesses by turnover. But it wasn’t always that way. In this session, you’ll hear the story behind the success, the stumbles along the way, and most importantly, how getting the right senior team in place made all the difference.

Hosted by Simon West, co-founder of Blair West, this event is ideally suited to members who want to develop their senior leadership team. Whether this is promoting internal team members, bringing in experienced hires, or moving loyal team members on, this event will give you insight and confidence to make better decisions for your own business.
