Personal statement
Learning is the cornerstone to all organisational effectiveness and success, whether this is a large corporate body or a local community group. Indeed, I fully support the view that “the ability to learn may be the only truly sustainable competitive advantage”.
Whether working as a manager, learning and development professional or community leader, facilitating learning is an important responsibility. Effective learning has real impact for the individual and the organisation.
Background
Brian has over twenty years experience in line management, leadership and consultancy having worked in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. He has held management roles in BT and The Costain Group. He began his career as a serving officer in the Metropolitan Police having first graduated in Management and Business.
On leaving Costain in 1992, Brian moved into consultancy with Management Training Partnership and worked in senior and middle management development with organisations such as Unilever, BP, Axa, Deliotte and Touche and BDO Stoy Hayward. Brian took on a broader range of responsibilities including key account management and business development roles as an Associate Director of MTP.
With a strong desire to live in the Lake District, Brian joined a not-for profit people development consultancy, Brathay, in 1998. Not long after joining Brathay he was asked to lead the Corporate Consultancy team with full budget and staff responsibility for an organisation that has an illustrious history in experiential leadership and team development. He believes in leading from the front and so also maintained a full and active client portfolio with organisations such as HBoS, Bradford and Bingley, McKinsey, Lancaster University, Burger King and Shell.
