Through expert consultancy, engaging workshops and personalised mentoring and coaching, Human Alchemy elevates leadership at all levels. We hear from Alexandra Thornton as the company celebrates success in the Midlands Enterprise Awards 2025. Best Leadership Development Consultancy 2025 Human Alchemy is a leadership and management consultancy offering training, consulting, facilitation and 1-2-1 support to empower leaders to be extraordinary. With over 24 years in business, it specialises in highimpact development for boards, senior teams, managers and emerging leaders through practical, real-life based programmes. "Our goal by July 2027 is to have empowered 1,000 extraordinary leaders, setting a benchmark for high-performance leadership in UK SMEs," says Head of Consultancy, Alexandra Thornton. Human Alchemy is working with a growing list of forward-thinking organisations including the RAF Tedder Academy of Leadership, the NHS, Co-Op and City of Lincoln Council, alongside many smaller organisations you might not have heard of (yet!). A core differentiator is their dual facilitation model - every workshop is led by both a mentor and a coach, combining practical leadership insight with behavioural expertise to deliver lasting change. The high-calibre team includes a former RAF Air Vice Marshal, the ex-CEO of NATS, a KPMG consultant, a high-performance coach for world-class athletes and a cognitive behaviour expert with over 25 years of experience. "This diversity of thought, experience and leadership excellence is what enables us to challenge, inspire and deliver measurable impact - every time," enthuses Alexandra. Beyond their team, Human Alchemy delivers training that works! Their programmes are grounded in real-world experience - delivering the theory but in a practical way that makes sense and can be implemented immediately. Plus, the workshops are designed for impact in fast-paced, complex SME environments. "We don't deliver tick-box training," says Alexandra. "We help leaders understand themselves, how to make a difference and develop the skills they really need to lead in an extraordinary way." As part of Lincoln College Group, Alexandra tells us that "One of the best things about working for Human Alchemy is that all of our profits are reinvested in students - developing future Leaders! So our clients are not only supporting their teams but also the next-generation". Importantly, internally, the company also models the same values it teaches: authenticity, excellence, high performance, innovation and energy. For their diligence to the industry, Human Alchemy have gained notable recognition recently in the Midlands Enterprise Awards 2025 where they were named Best Leadership Development Consultancy 2025. Looking to the remainder of 2025 and beyond, the company now aims to scale their impact, launch new programmes, forge new partnerships and, they have an exciting new offering up their sleeve too! "We're excited to launch Data Alchemy!" says Alexandra. "This part of the business blends data analytics with leadership expertise to help Leaders make faster, smarter decisions - enhancing clarity in strategy, culture and change. We have also partnered with Datnexa to offer Leadership and Artificial Intelligence workshops - designed for Leaders to help them make decisions on how to effectively use AI in their organisation". "I'm always happy to chat as well" she muses, "offering free advice, having no-pressure discussions or exploring the art of the possible is one of the best parts of my job!"
