We had the pleasure of chatting to Will Lankston - Managing Director of Timpson Direct, with over 12 years of experience across the Timpson Group. He and our CEO Phil Wedgwood discuss the differentiating factors which make the Timpson Group culture so unique and how they've maintained engagement with dispersed colleagues across 2100 shops in the UK. The meaning of upside-down management. Ex-offender resettlement and doing the right thing for the community, ethically and commercially. How to survive bad figures in a retail business and what really matters as a colleague in the Timpson Group culture.

Part 2 of #EngagedInConversation with Advita Patel, Jürgen Maier, and Phil Wedgwood.We continue the conversation on building inclusive cultures in business, asking why it is that business leaders often don't use their voices. How can we encourage current and future generations to speak up, inspiring courageous and inclusive conversations in team building, and the power of 'productive disagreement' - Advita Patel.If you enjoyed this episode - please click subscribe for our future episodes!If you have any feedback or would like to connect with the team, send us an email at: hello@engagesolutionsgroup.comConnect with Advita and Jürgen below -
