Hi, my name's Nick Price, I'm the CEO of Bright Purple Resourcing.

Where does leadership start and where does leadership end? It starts at the bottom and it works all the way to the top of the tree.

Chris Parr, Chief Executive, Tullis Russell

Hi, I'm Chris Parr and I'm Chief Executive of Tullis Russell.

We've faced enormous change over the last five years in particular, with the global recession.

I genuinely believe that our leadership programme,our culture and our values, have helped us tonavigate our way thrugh those treacherous waters far more effectively than would otherwise have been the case.

John Gillan, MD, P1 Solutions

I'm John Gillan, I'm Managing Director of a company called P1 Solutions.

Our company has continued to grow at between 10 and 12 per cent each year, and we believe that leadership courses have been fundamental in us managing to achieve this.

The biggest benefit to our company of being involved with Scottish Enterprise and its leadership courses, has been to watch our staff grow, become better people, better managers.
