Andrew Laird is Chief Executive and Co-Founder of Mutual Ventures, a specialist public service reform consultancy working with central government departments and local areas to make public services work better for the people who need them most. Andrew co-founded the business in 2011 and has spent the last 15 years building it into one of the most respected independent voices in public service reform.
In this conversation, Craig and Andrew explore how Mutual Ventures has grown from a niche startup responding to a government agenda into a firm with a bold three-year growth strategy, why appointing two non-executive directors was one of the best decisions they ever made, and how thought leadership became part of the DNA of the firm rather than a bolt-on marketing exercise.
This is a practical, experience-led conversation with a consultancy leader who has navigated government instability, built a culture of radical transparency and learned what it really takes to grow a specialist firm without losing what makes it special.
