Centre for Educational Leadership (CEL)

Centre for Educational Leadership - CEL - The University of Manchester

CEL is a university based enterprise that specialises in the design and delivery of leadership development and organisational change programmes. CEL’s ambition is to be widely recognised for its ability to translate research in the areas of leadership and management into useable practical frameworks, models and techniques which help individuals achieve improved, sustainable results cost effectively.

Working primarily with leaders and managers of small and medium sized enterprises, CEL’s aim is to enable individuals and their organisations to learn, grow and change. We believe that the essence of leadership is organisational results beyond the ordinary, beyond your previous best, beyond last year, and beyond the competition.

We have worked both nationally and internationally, helping organisations to identify gaps in their leadership effectiveness and designing and delivering interventions that make a measurable difference.

Our staff have successful senior management experience in education, social care, public services, local government, SMEs and retail. We work with clients across the UK, with dedicated bases in the North West in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Kendal.

We are proud to belong to The University of Manchester and strongly believe that the academic rigour with which we research, design and deliver programmes ensures that our processes and materials reflect the best contemporary practice and are underpinned by current leadership thinking.
