A Lancashire-based business leader has been invited to share her thoughts with the Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, chaired by Lord Blunkett.

The Leader’s Council is currently in the process of talking to leadership figures from across the nation in an attempt to understand this universal trait and what it means in Britain and Northern Ireland today.

Amanda Meachin from Community & Business Partners CIC, which was recently awarded the accolade of the North West’s “Top Team” at a regional awards ceremony was invited onto an episode of their podcast.

Lord Blunkett, chairman of The Leaders Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland said, ‘I think the most informative element is the first part, where Scott Challinor is able to sit down with someone who really gets how their industry works and knows how to make their organisation tick. Someone who’s there day in day out working hard and inspiring others. That’s what leadership is all about.’

Amanda Meachin, CEO of Community & Business Partners CIC said “It’s an honour to lead a team and a business and it was an honour to be asked to do this by The Leaders Council. Throughout my career I have tried to work to inspire others to step up to the plate, particularly young women who have sometimes needed that extra bit of confidence and reassurance. I hope this interview has the same effect”.

Host Scott Challinor commented, ‘Hosting a show like this, where you speak to genuine leaders who have been there and done it, either on a national stage or within a crucial industry sector, is an absolute honour.’
