Leon Lloyd

Meet The Founder

Leon Lloyd is a former England international rugby player, who has played at the highest level and against elite players such as Jonah Lomu, (and survived!). Leon started his working career as a professional rugby player in 1995, playing over 270 games for both Leicester Tigers and Gloucester Rugby. He scored over 100 tries during his career and has represented England at every age level making his full debut in 2000 against South Africa.

In the years that have followed, Leon turned his lessons and experiences from rugby into transferrable skills for business, making that all-important transition into the ‘real world’.

Combining his passion of sport and business, Leon went on to graduate gaining a First-Class (Hons) degree in Business Leadership and Management. His final dissertation topic focused on how sports clubs and organisations can better help prepare their athletes for life after sport. More recently, Leon graduated with an MBA, earning a Distinction grade where his thesis was again around transition and the employability traits of elite athletes.
