Stew & Cocoa S2 Episode 1 with The Movement Centre & The Inspirational Leader Award
Welcome to Season 2 Episode 1 of the Stew & Cocoa podcast!
After a short break, we’re back with a new direction centred around the launch of our new award, the Inspirational Business Leader Award. We’ll be interviewing 10 business leaders in the construction industry, hearing their nominations for the beacons in our industry who have shown inspiration and innovation during the pandemic and rewarding the winner with £1,000 for their chosen charity, plus we’ll donate £2,500 to our partner charity, The Movement Centre (TMC).
In this podcast, Toni Camisotti speaks to two key figures at TMC - Helen Knight and Jack Mantle - about the launch of our award, who TMC are and what makes them different, how they’ve dealt with the challenges of Covid-19 and the innovative things they have done as a charity, interfacing with the NHS (which has been a blessing and curse) and how that can be improved, and what the award means to TMC.
The Movement Centre is a charity that provides a specialist therapy called Targeted Training, a life changing therapy that develops functional skills required for head control and sitting, and where possible standing and walking in children with cerebral palsy and other problems of movement control.
Granite Search presents ‘Inspirational Business Leader’ Award
The Award:
2020 has so far been a challenging year and when the country went into lockdown on 23rd March, our industry resembled a Sergio Leone movie, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly…
Some have not covered themselves in glory whilst others in our industry have shone like a beacon and separated the great leaders from the lesser, over the past 16 weeks, the Owner of Granite Search, Toni Camisotti has been hosting our Stew & Cocoa podcast which has run in tandem with our new suite of products and services highlighting all of the above. We’ve seen how major UK financials have responded positively, how the market has reacted to government policy and shone a spotlight on the ugly world of insolvency practice. We’ve had mixed reviews as well, but the reoccurring theme was the request to hear more about the good stuff that’s genuinely making a difference…
To that end, to support our partnered Charity, TMC we are going to be presenting a Leadership Award for inspiration and innovation over this year. And this will be the theme of our podcasts moving forwards. 10 interviews between now and Christmas with industry figures who will be invited to nominate their ‘Inspirational Leader’ and why.
