The Inspirational Podcast Series is the place to find inspiration from fellow CEOs, MDs and Business Owners. Above all, they are running successful, multi-million-pound turnover businesses; and doing a lot of things well.
Also, they have a ‘whole life’ – which subsequently presents its fair share of challenges; in one life context or another.
You can access their knowledge, expertise and wisdom here. Listen to their stories of what they’ve been inspired by, and what they are now doing differently, as a result.
S1/Ep3 – Ciara Keeling – On Family Values, Imposter Syndrome and the Importance of Being an Authentic Leader
CEO of Bruntwood Works, Ciara remains passionate about this second-generation family business, where she has spent 16 years of her career to date.
A qualified Chartered Surveyor, Ciara’s journey to CEO has taken an unusual route, especially being female in a traditionally, male-dominated industry.
From a large and close-knit Irish family, Ciara takes inspiration from each of them and that attitude of openness and hunger to learn from others has helped shape her into the inspirational leader she is today.

S1/Ep2 – Andy Russell – On Creating a Digital Business; Peacocks and Helping the Homeless
Having spent 25 years working for mainstream banks in international services; Andy became CEO of Perfect Home in 2018. He completed the transition of this high street retailer from a store-based business to a centralised one. The journey since then has been to take a now centralised company and create a truly digital business.
Andy lives with his wife and son in rural North Wales; along with some sheep, a sheepdog, several cats and Grumpy the Peacock!
