Lane4 Management Group

By developing skills that are as relevant in life as they are at work, Lane4 Management Group helps its clients in the UK and worldwide to build winning businesses of their own.

“Organisations are built by people, and ... We firmly believe that by giving people confidence, belief, and a sense of purpose, they will be able to truly thrive,” Maidenhead-based Lane4 says. The company applies performance psychology to help leaders, managers and teams to improve organisational achievement. It delivers across six areas of expertise: leadership and management development; high-performing teams; performance coaching; wellbeing and resilience; adaptability; and transformation and culture change.

As a Best Company to Work For and ranked among the Financial Times's UK's Leading Management Consultants, plus on the Training Industry's Top Training Companies™ list, Lane4 has developed more than 130,000 people over the past five years.

The company focused on creating a sense of belonging and “tried to emphasise that we are all one squad” throughout the pandemic. “We used the analogy of a football team and their substitute bench while people were on furlough. In essence saying, you are still vital to what we are trying to achieve”, it says.

Over the past year founder and CEO Adrian Moorhouse recorded weekly company updates vlog for everyone – but he added a personal note by outlining how he was coping. A Seoul 1988 Olympic 100 metres breaststroke gold medallist, Adrian named Lane4 after the lane that traditionally gives the fastest heat winner a small but potentially crucial advantage.
