The Institute of Directors (IoD) has appointed two ambassadors to bolster its Cheshire leadership team.<\/p>\n

Stuart Waddington and Helen Tonks will work with new branch chair Richard Huxley to engage with directors across the county.<\/p>\n

Stuart spent 12 years in the RAF delivering leadership and physical training before setting up his own business Star Development UK in 2018.<\/p>\n

Star Development UK delivers leadership and transformational development programmes to high performing teams and individuals including chief executives and Olympic athletes.<\/p>\n

Stuart (pictured, below<\/em>) is the host of the podcast #Leadership – what’s on your mind?<\/p>\n

Helen Tonks (pictured, above<\/em>) is co-founder and operations director of South Cheshire-based Hydraulics Online.<\/p>\n

She is a specialist in strategic change management and has taken the family business start-up from a blank sheet to Department for International Trade Export Champion and a global provider that serves customers in 130 countries.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Helen won IoD North West’s Family Business Director of the Year award and she now acts as a mentor supporting Manchester Metropolitan University’s delivery of the Government’s Help to Grow: Management Programme.<\/p>\n

Richard Huxley, IoD Cheshire chair, said: “I am very excited to welcome Stuart and Helen to the Cheshire committee as ambassadors.<\/p>\n

“Stuart brings substantial and relevant experience in leadership training while Helen has a formidable track record in the blue chip world and of working within a family business.<\/p>\n

“We are looking for more ambassadors, so if you are a pro-active director who would like to build your profile while supporting local members, please get in touch.”<\/p>\n

Richard, managing director of Nantwich-based NWF Fuels, was named IoD Cheshire chair in September this year.<\/p>\n
