Jim Loft

I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (FCIPD) with 20+ years’ experience in mainstream HR for a Blue Chip manufacturing company, working across the UK and Europe.

I have been mentoring business leaders through Business Wales for over 5 years across a broad range of businesses. 

My expertise is focussed on strategic thinking and all aspects of how people can develop and perform within organisations (small or large). I have a particular interest in how business leaders can develop themselves alongside their businesses. I am British Psychological Society level B trained.

Additionally I am a voluntary online trainer with the CIPD for mentors throughout the UK as part of their Steps Ahead Mentoring programme. I act as an Ambassador for this programme in SW Wales working with Job Centre Plus to help young people find employment and to encourage them to develop skills.

I was formally chair of the SW Wales region of the CIPD and I also hold an honours degree in Chemistry.

I have found my skills in helping managers organise themselves and then focus on the important issues has regularly been key to success for my clients. 

Before you start anything, make sure it is something you really want and be very clear what it is that you are trying to achieve.
