Director of Happiness

Janet Leighton – Timpson

Timpson has been a fixture on our high streets since 1865 in the UK. In recent years, they’ve received acclaim for their approach to hiring ex-offenders. Now, 10% of their workforce have been given an opportunity after a criminal conviction. A unique ‘upside-down’ company, Timpson eschews many traditional business practices. For example, they don’t have a marketing and communications department. In this episode we meet Janet Leighton, Director of Happiness.
