Nick: MD
Nick has spent the last 25 years leading businesses and departments in both high paced start-up SMEs and large, complex, global organisations.
He is so obsessed with understanding and creating the conditions for leaders and teams to work at their best that he’s started a doctorate specifically focused on exploring "micro-pauses" - the small, intentional behaviours and tools that leaders and teams should adopt for effective team and organisational productivity.

Lianne: Social Media Strategist
I’m a lifelong learner and a firm believer in embracing failure, but it took me a long time to get here!
I care deeply about the environment, local communities, and the idea that business can (and should) be a force for good. My roots are in small, values-led enterprises, and I feel most at home working with people who care about impact as much as they do about outcomes.
I have a VERY SQUIGGLY background. Business owner, a published author on sustainability, and most recently, a Senior Lecturer in Business at Teesside University.
After over a decade of experience in retail, e-commerce, higher education, and enterprise, I now help small businesses increase their visibility and build meaningful communities through their social media channels.
