Founder and CEO 

Throughout his career Jamie Lywood has displayed one very obvious and distinctive desire - that is to search out alternative solutions to age old problems.   During his five years in the Army he says ‘I found that my soldiers followed me not so much because of my leadership but out of simple curiosity'.

In the 1980's and early 90's he established a very successful art business whose motto was ‘no pre-conceived ideas' and displayed only blank canvasses on its walls.

In 1994 he joined Harding & Yorke - then a fledgling company with an idea that many current measures adopted by businesses were at best irrelevant and at worst irresponsible.  Over the next decade, as Managing Director of the business, he has launched new initiatives for Harding & Yorke including consultancy and benchmarking services - all dealing with the measurement and development of Empathy in the corporate environment.  In 2008 Jamie was appointed Chairman and CEO of the business.
