John Lakin

 Non Executive Director

I am a policy and management expert with over 30 years’ experience of working with and advising public, private and not-for-profit organisations on a wide range of critical issues, mainly in the education sector. In my Executive career, I built and led one of the UK’s largest and most prestigious Education & Children’s Services Consulting practices. I was responsible for nearly 200 professional staff in the UK, as well as being a Board member for the firm’s wider European services. I delivered over 100 assignments in the UK and globally, many of national and international significance. In my more recent Non Executive career I have Board level experience with a range of public, private and charity organisations and am an acknowledged expert in strategic thinking, evaluation, public policy, audit, performance management and change. I have also led training in effective governance and carried out governance reviews. I am looking for further senior non executive roles in organisations where I can add value locally and nationally, and where I can continue to draw upon my lifelong commitment to improve social justice and equity.
