Build in silence and let success speak for itself: a Yorkshire business story
In this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast (https://www.linkedin.com/company/yorkshire-business-podcast/), Chloe sits down with Natalie Foster, CEO of Inspire Legal Group (https://inspirelegalgroup.co.uk/our-team/), to talk about what it really takes to build and scale a modern law firm.
Natalie’s story is anything but traditional.
She started a law firm during lockdown — as a non-solicitor — with a simple but powerful question: how would we practise law if the world never opened up again?
Fast forward, and Inspire Legal Group has grown beyond a high street offering into specialist areas including mass tort litigation and employment services, building a reputation that competes with — and often exceeds — larger corporate firms.
This is a conversation free from ego.
We talk about:
→ building a tech-first, people-centric law firm
→ scaling back to scale up
→ listening to and acting on customer feedback
→ staying ahead of changing consumer habits
→ growing a high-performing team and service
→ why owning less of a bigger business can be the smarter move
Natalie also shares the realities of being a non-solicitor in the legal world — the bias, the assumptions, and why she has never allowed herself to feel inferior.
Her message is clear:
You can have the awards, the LinkedIn presence, the polished website — but if your customer experience doesn’t match it, you won’t succeed.
Build well. Treat people properly. Let the results speak for themselves.
If you’re a founder, leader or building something from the ground up, this is a must watch.

Does your personal brand pre-qualify leads for you? If not, watch this
In this episode of the Yorkshire Business Podcast, Chloe (https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloewallacehrconsultant/) sits down with Charley Whitehead (https://www.linkedin.com/in/charley-whitehead/), Marketing Manager at Example Marketing, to talk all things personal brand, and why it should be doing far more heavy lifting in your business than you think.
The big question:
Does your personal brand pre-qualify leads for you?
Because if it doesn’t… you might be doing it wrong.
We get into what a personal brand actually is (and what it definitely isn’t). Moving beyond performative authenticity and “just showing up online”, this conversation explores how a strong personal brand compounds over time, not just generating leads, but attracting the right ones.
We talk about:
what a personal brand really is (without the fluff)
the difference between a personal brand and a business brand
where founders get lost trying to build both
how personal branding can pre-qualify leads before a conversation even happens
the real barriers that stop people getting started
And yes… we also talk about Norman the dog, who has somehow taken over Charley’s personal brand.
If you’re building a business and wondering whether your personal brand is actually working for you, this is worth your time.
