Speakers

Dilys is Chair of Circus – a boutique management consultancy, she co-founded quite some time ago.

 Dilys believes that business can and should be a force for good. Circus helps clients clarify why they exist and for whom. It codifies Purpose as a business driver – inspiring and instructing both the commercial and cultural proposition. The practice works with Founders and Families, Investors and Boards across vertical sectors and geographies.

 Prior to Circus, Dilys worked in both client and consultancy roles. She started in advertising, moving to Bonhams Auctioneers and then Habitat, working for Terence Conran. This sparked an interest in design, with subsequent roles at Fitch and Imagination. She then moved back to a client role, working for Anita and Gordon Roddick, as General Manager, Brand and Marketing,  for The Body Shop International.

In addition to Circus,  Dilys is a Non-Exec Director enjoying roles in both Founder and Private Equity backed businesses. She is currently on the Board at Responsible Travel.
