Actor and comedian Warwick Davis is the host of Figureheads, a new podcast series from Barclaycard Business which will give exclusive insights into some of the UK’s biggest cultural institutions.
Talking to the people behind these institutions, Warwick picks their brains to learn how they tackle leadership, mitigate risk and create legacies.
The five-part series of Figureheads with Warwick Davis will explore the inner workings from leaders of world class sporting and entertainment organisations, exclusively sharing their big business experiences and lessons with takeaways for all business owners.
Each weekly episode will include insights into how the Premier League became the most popular sporting league in the world, the journey that led Sadler’s Wells to become the most influential dance production house in the world to how the Donmar Warehouse prioritise purpose.
There will also be lessons from Baroness Sue Campbell, one of the most respected and influential people in British sport, on creating a legacy with Barclays FA Women’s Super League and Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Live Nation’s Festival Republic on overcoming the unexpected challenges of live events.
