In this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast, host Chloe sits down with Jack Nicklin, Managing Director of Tell Media, a fast-growing broadcast and video production company rooted in York, North Yorkshire, with offices globally in Kuwait and Kuala Lumpur.

We talk about what it takes to scale a niche Yorkshire business in an industry long dominated by London, and why investing in local talent is so important for the creative sector. Jack shares his vision for international growth, how he manages teams across multiple time zones, and the exciting opportunities that come with blending fresh ideas, new technology and proven broadcast expertise.

From Yorkshire roots to a global footprint, this conversation explores entrepreneurship, leadership and the future of media. Jack demonstrates that Yorkshire businesses have ambition, and that they can, and should, be competing on the world stage.

In this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast, Chloe speaks with Lou (Louise Sleightholm), creator and stylist at @LousCorporateLife, founder of sustainable workwear brand Mode, and co-founder of the Leeds Young Professionals Network.

Lou shares how she turned a personal pain into a movement, building a community of over 300,000 people inspired by her daily advice on corporate style.

But this conversation goes far beyond fashion. Together we explore the links between workwear, confidence, and self-esteem; how uniform policies can impact women at work; and why comments on appearance, too often dismissed as “harmless”, can contribute to a culture where sexual harassment is normalised.

This episode is about sustainability, confidence, and culture, and how leaders can rethink policies, behaviours, and practices to make the workplace not only more stylish, but safer and more empowering for everyone.

In this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast, hosted by Chloe Wallace, and proudly sponsored by OneSource HR, I sit down with James Woods, CEO of Citizens Advice Doncaster, to explore how his 15-year journey through the organisation has shaped his people-first leadership style.

Under James’ tenure as CEO, Citizens Advice Doncaster has transformed its reach from supporting just 3,000–4,000 people per year to an incredible 10,000 last year, bringing £9 million of income into Doncaster’s economy.

But it’s not without challenges. James busts one of the biggest misconceptions — Citizens Advice is not government funded. Instead, as an independent charity, they rely on innovation, collaboration, and partnerships with organisations like the Coalfields Regeneration Trust and Centurion to sustain and grow their impact.

We discuss everything from:

• Fighting against “digital by design” and instead championing “digital by choice” to prevent digital exclusion and poverty in South Yorkshire.

• How Citizens Advice Doncaster links directly to employability and employee wellness across the region.

• What it really takes to lead a values-driven organisation in challenging times.
