UKFast Leadership

Are you up for a challenge?

Whether you are a prospective client, a client or a member of the UKFast team or even someone aspiring to join our great organisation, you are a valued person in our eyes and I challenge you to help us improve UKFast.

Our leadership style is certainly an unusual one and it does break conventions.

A great many organisations take their leadership courses from the Army and employ Ex-Army Officers to help develop a strong style and well defined sense of leadership.

And like many businesses before us, we followed a similar route employing a top trainer from Sandhurst, the Officer Training Academy. And while we have found some very useful tools which help deliver excellence and build spirit, a huge amount of what we do is developed from within and influenced by a much wider variety of sources.

Our leadership is about Challenge. Are you up for the challenge? Are you looking for a business that is going to grow and develop far faster than any other business in the UK? If you are, it is highly likely that your business or career is developing at a fast rate of knots too. Consequently you will benefit from partnering with UKFast.

As a graduate or new recruit, you are recruited on the basis of your attributes and values, but you are also regarded as a blank canvass. During your first 2 weeks at UKFast you are immersed in our Academy. Part of your initiation involves time in our Training Centre in North Wales, where you will go through the exact training and team building every team member has done before you. The training centre is called Castell Cidwm, it is an old hotel and a jewel in the Snowdonian National Park. It is owned and run by Lawrence and Gail the founders of UKFast.

As a client you are only a phone call away from Lawrence. He takes pride in helping everyone. If you genuinely want help we run a series of private round tables and events which are exclusively for friends of UKFast where you can rub shoulders with other top entrepreneurs and find out just what makes the finest entrepreneurs tick. Whatever stage in your business career, this is something you might want to consider. If you are a small business aspiring for your first million, mid sized or even large, Lawrence is an inspirational character and he somehow always finds time for everyone around him.

You will never see him happier than with a heavy pack on his back, carrying everyones provisions up the mountains. He has a passion for the outdoors and taking people and himself well outside their comfort zones. Jim Collins writes about level 5 leaders, people who aren't overtly, outwardly confident and Lawrence fits this mould. He will choose himself for the dangerous or difficult tasks and wait for others to enjoy the finer things. He is a true leader in every sense.

Friends and leaders who inspire Lawrence include Richard Branson, John Timpson, Chet Holmes and Tony Robbins.
