Our history

Corporate Culture was founded in Liverpool in 1986 by brothers Bert and Tim Leyland. They had a vision of a business that helped its clients deliver positive social and commercial change.

Today, we’re just as committed to these complementary goals, sharing our skills and knowledge with a growing range of blue-chip clients across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors: organisations like BT, Anglian Water, Asda, the NHS, WRAP and Cancer Research UK.

While there’s never a dull moment, the turn of the millennium was a big time for us. Not only did 2000 see us opening our London office, but it marked the arrival of a new management team, led by our current Chairman John Drummond.

Under John’s direction, we have become a UK pioneer in behaviour change and sustainable business – helping our clients engage with their employees, customers, communities and stakeholders, and delivering health and environmental campaigns that achieve long-term success and deliver wide-ranging social change.

We have also set up a third office in Edinburgh.

Our highly talented people, with expertise in strategic communications, project direction and management, research and insight, creative and branding, digital, and learning and capacity building, have won a raft of awards over the years, including:

  • two BITC ‘Big Tick’ Awards
  • two IPRA Awards for marketing excellence
  • a Marketing Design Award for our ‘Choose well’ campaign for the NHS.

We were also twice shortlisted for BITC Company of the Year award.
