Geoffrey Hackett

Geoffrey lives and works in South West London as a freelance television writer director and producer. He travels the country specialising in supporting organisations to work on - change management, knowledge sharing , process analysis and communications.

Geoffrey was born in Withington South Manchester 13/11/1946 the son of a Manchester businessman Hubert Hackett and his wife Ruby. Leaving school at 16 he joined the family coach and touring business and trained as a motor engineer and then as a transport manager. Within a few years he became involved in the ownership, management, running and selling of many different companies including hotel and catering, fashion design, clothing manufacture, fashion retail, industrial property management, home improvement supplies, road haulage and animal feeds.

By 1986 with 24 years of commercial and business experience behind him Geoffrey had grown keen to help others succeed in business at all levels and especially to benefit from a sharing of knowledge in all aspects of the business and commercial world, helping to grow UK enterprise.

The desire lead to the creation of a television production company to spread not only Geoffrey’s knowledge of business but to capture and share both academic and commercial experience of the good and the great throughout the business world and record business and organisational best practice. This lead to the production of some 350 management training and development programmes with some 250 broadcast in the early 1990’s by the BBC.

Geoffrey believes that business should work for you not tie you to working for the business. He gives talks and runs awareness programmes on business improvement under his “Leaders of Change” banner. Advising on communication and knowledge sharing through effective business processes he also runs a funtastic team development programme called “ Film Day Experience” and helps you achieve your corporate social responsibilities through the Achieve Programme.
