The Early Years

The mines closed and communities faced the abyss, but people never lost sight of their values, their self-worth, or their resilience and spirit to survive and move forward despite the heartache, uncertainty and upheaval that life can present. Laurence grew up in a tough coal mining community and what he witnessed in that moment in time defined his personality and changed the way he lived his life.

The message and lesson – “Make the most of your situation, enjoy the moment and be prepared to take risks. Never lose sight of your dreams and ambitions and stay true to your values and beliefs.”

So Who is Laurence Winmill?

He’s an experienced entrepreneur who understands the challenges facing founders and established businesses looking to grow and scale to the next level.

You can’t doubt Laurence’s flair for being a people person, manager and risk taker. His personal and professional experiences have given him the qualities and skill sets he needs to advise fellow individuals and organisations on entrepreneurship, motivating people and teams, presenting, facilitating, managing and anything that drives sales and business development – critical factors that are essential to how people do business.

Laurence has worked in C-suite roles in advertising, digital media, publishing, automotive and pharmaceuticals. As an entrepreneur and specialist in business development, he has created numerous startup businesses in hospitality, media and publishing and has a wealth of knowledge that he is happy to share with his audience.

Laurence also volunteers his time as a business mentor, and provides advice and support to startups, using all of his marketing and business experience to help founders and SMEs make the right choices during the early stages of their development.

Laurence now concentrates his career as a media and business consultant helping business owners and organisations to make the right choices to drive growth and build strategy for sustained success. Laurence travels extensively as a keynote speaker, talking about his experiences as a business leader and entrepreneur. His ability to inspire audiences has resulted in him working with several international brands, including Unum, P&G, Kellogg’s, Dunelm and Armstrong. He has also penned a book entitled ‘Live Your Life’, which contains messages and anecdotes that inspired him during the earlier part of his entrepreneurial journey.

MORE case studies

Laurence visited Cardiff & Vale College (CAVC) to act as a guest judge in our ‘Dewi’s Den’ competition, providing some excellent feedback and insights to our learners, which most have taken on and explored further during their coursework.

He fully played the role of Dragon and was a huge part of the day’s success, making the event exciting and engaging. I have no doubts on the impact this had on our students and we’d love to work with Laurence again soon!

Good Morning Laurence,

Thanks for the feedback, and more importantly your support yesterday.  Your section at the end was a real addition to the day, and to quote the chaps from Mercedes and the lady from the independent, ‘We actually feel re-invigorated about our purpose and what can be achieved having listened to that!’.

Having spoken to Marc, Tim and the team, you also inspired us to be better and do more, so thank you for that too.

Laurence, as ever, I have the pleasure of remaining 

Yours faithfully

David Hawksworth

I was nearly crying with your little write up about looking yourself in the mirror; I’m very spiritual and could relate to a lot of what you were saying, always stay grounded is my key!

Thanks again many thought you were amazing. X
