Leadership development
By Sally Palethorpe, managing partner of Inspired Partners
As providers of leadership training we know how important it is to nurture existing and emerging talent in your business; it is forward looking and saves money and time in the future. We often work with
individuals who have great technical capabilities yet lack the leadership skills necessary to further develop their careers. We believe that part of our role is to tailor the training so that appropriate models and tools are used that are practical for people to use wherever they are in their careers. If you are thinking of
commissioning a leadership programme, then consider the following: 1 What knowledge, skills and behaviours do you want for your leaders and the business?
2 How does the training reflect the context in which your leaders work?
3 Who will support the individuals to practice their new skills and grow as leaders?
Feedback we have received
from our bespoke leadership programmes includes: “Excellent opportunity to ‘GROW’ as an individual”; “Provided time to reflect on how I do things”; “The course has already changed the way I work day-to-day”; “I delegate more which has impacted my personal well-being”. It is satisfying to play a part
in helping individuals fulfil their potential, developing skills and capabilities that will stay with them throughout their careers. Talk with Sally to find out
how we can work with you to build a strong leadership core and nurture your talent to help future proof your business.

Embassy Freight Services are helping property manager Steve Alexander, who has racing mono planes among his pursuits, with his next venture. Steve will be entering his Lagonda Rapier 1931 in The Lake Perkolilli ‘Red Dust Revival’ at Kanowna Fremantle, Western Australia, between 12-16 September. The classic race is for pre-1940
cars and motorbikes that race over a four-day period. Managing director Keith
Beresford and his team at Embassy Freight Services have undertaken the task of shipping the car, including having it custom-cleared and delivered to site in time. They have managed all of the arrangements, including the documentation. They will also arrange for the car
to be shipped back to the UK after the race has finished.

Metro Bank expands with new branch
Metro Bank has opened a new ‘store’ on the corner of New Street and High Street in Birmingham city centre. Its aim is to provide residents
and businesses with a ‘convenient banking experience’. Metro’s policy is to call their branches stores, and say that they are building a different kind of high-street bank. It will be open seven days a week, visitors can open a personal or
business account instore, leaving with their new Metro debit card in hand, along with internet and mobile banking set-up. More than 4,000 safe deposit boxes will also be available, with
customers able to reserve a box a month before the store opening. The Birmingham city centre store is the first of four to open in the
West Midlands this year, followed by new stores in Solihull, Merry Hill and Wolverhampton. A local business manager will be appointed in store to help firms
grow their businesses, as well as having free access to bespoke resources and free use of the store’s meeting space. Birmingham City Council Leader Cllr Ian Ward said: “Birmingham
City Council will be working closely with local communities and traders over the next few months to plan for future growth in the city and make sure Birmingham remains attractive, successful and thriving.” Craig Donaldson, chief executive at Metro Bank, said: “Metro Bank’s
continued expansion across Britain is empowering communities and businesses, and providing them real choice in who they bank with. “We’re thrilled to bring the banking revolution to local residents and
business in Birmingham, and we look forward to our store becoming a real hub for the local community in the city.”
Star pupil Kate heads to AMDA
Performing arts student Kate Prince, from Joseph Chamberlain Sixth Form College, has secured her place at the American Music and Drama Academy (AMDA). Kate’s debut into the theatre world
will see her follow in the footsteps of other Joseph Chamberlain College (JCC) alumni, including Adrian Lester, Zoe Tyler, Donnaleigh Bailey, Matt Rawle, and Matt Henry. The only OFSTED Grade 1 college
in Birmingham and Solihull, JCC has received standing ovations for its stellar drama department, and Kate Prince’s story is a testament to the college’s ‘reputation of excellence’. Kate (pictured), said: “I’ve had
the best time doing this course and think it has developed me both as a person and an actor. “I don’t think I would’ve got into AMDA without the support of JCC.”
