Ep 40 - CEO special with Paul Drechsler

For this episode we are joined by Paul Drechsler, the Renaissance man of business.

Paul has been at the centre of the interface between business, politics and society for many decades. To say he’s done a lot in his time would be a gross understatement: 24 years with ICI; Chair and Chief Executive of the family owned construction firm the Wates Group;  Chair of the shipping and marine firm Bibby Line.

And then his work as Chair of some of the foremost business organisations. He was President of the CBI in the lead up to and aftermath of the Brexit Referendum; and most recently Chair of Business London and the International Chamber of Commerce. He’s sat on the Board of Teach First and Business in the Community. Oh and was, for a number of years, Chancellor of Teesside University.

Joining us, making her Little Question debut, is my Apella Partner, Liz Lynch.
