Blending Strategic Consultancy with Community Leadership
In my professional journey, I have always believed that the strongest results are born from a blend of strategic consultancy and active community leadership.
My work through Sue Tilley Associates allows me to partner directly with ambitious organisations to unlock their potential, but I am equally proud of the broader impact I make as Chair of Leicestershire Business Voice (LBV); the independent, apolitical voice of business for Leicester and Leicestershire.
These two roles are intrinsically linked. They both stem from a commitment to championing enterprise, shaping economic growth, and ensuring that the strength and diversity of our business community are recognised and influential.
A Catalyst for Regional Change
Through Leicestershire Business Voice, we don’t just network; we act as a catalyst for change. LBV brings together leaders from across all sectors, from manufacturing and technology to professional services; to create a powerful, collective voice. In an era where our region faces structural challenges, such as the absence of a comprehensive devolution settlement, this clarity of purpose has never been more vital.
Our recent initiatives at LBV reflect this drive for progress. From our “Sporting Stories” events that bridge the gap between elite sport and corporate leadership, to the “Super Six Series” focusing on digital transformation and innovation, we are constantly fostering the dialogue that matters. We advocate for fairer regional investment and address the critical challenges of productivity and skills, positioning Leicester and Leicestershire as a place of true ambition.
Driving Tangible Outcomes
Strategic engagement is at the heart of what we do. Whether it is launching the Leicestershire Innovation Festival or highlighting global opportunities like the Santander X UK Awards, LBV provides a platform for collaboration. We ensure the voice of business isn’t just heard in passing but actively influences decision-making at every level.
For me, leading LBV is a natural extension of my consultancy work. It’s about bringing people together and helping places find their “sweet spot” for growth. When I work with high-level clients through Sue Tilley Associates, I bring this same macro-level perspective; an understanding of the regional economic landscape, deep connections within the public sector, and a proven track record of navigating complex growth hurdles.
Shaping the Future, Together
The strength of our local economy lies in its exceptional businesses. By amplifying their perspectives and creating the conditions for them to thrive, we aren’t just supporting individual companies; we are building a more resilient region.
Through curated events and thought leadership, LBV continues to connect ideas and opportunities. It is a privilege to chair an organisation that stands for credibility and purpose, ensuring that our business community remains a force to be reckoned with on the national stage.
Whether you are looking to engage with the wider business community or seeking bespoke strategic advice to take your own organisation to the next level, there has never been a better time to connect.
