Welcome James Sloan to the TLC Team!
We are thrilled to introduce James Sloan, our new Head of Partnerships and Business Development
at Transform Lives Company (TLC). With over 15 years of experience in the third sector, James brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for making a difference.
Background and Inspiration
James has spent the majority of his career setting up and leading a local community-based charity in Liverpool. Throughout this time, he has witnessed the barriers people face when they’re out of work and how it affects their physical and mental health. Inspired to join TLC, James aims to add as much value as possible to help more people find meaningful employment opportunities.
Excitement for the New Role
James is eager to explore everything that TLC currently offers and to see how we support people through our various programmes into employment. He is excited to bring his skills and experience to the team, develop new strategies, create partnerships, and increase our impact.
Experience and Challenges
With a focus on the individual, James has extensive experience in organisational change, vision implementation, and strategy development to meet the changing needs of communities. He has also successfully raised funds and developed sustainable income streams for organisational growth. James recognises the challenges in the current system to support people into work and hopes to see a more tailored approach that prioritises individual needs.
Goals and Vision
In his first six months, James aims to help develop TLC’s strategy, create new partnerships, and increase our impact. He believes TLC is perfectly placed to respond to new government targets and support more people back into work across the Liverpool City Region through innovative, person-centred, and values-driven methodologies.
Getting to Know James
James loves the vibrant life, culture, and sense of justice in Liverpool. If he could have dinner with any three people, he would choose The Queen, Nelson Mandela, and David Livingstone for their inspiring stories and contributions to history. His go-to comfort food is homemade lasagne with garlic bread, and he enjoys unwinding with Netflix, caffeine-free diet coke, and a bag of pork scratchings.
James will be connecting with organisations across the city region to build partnerships and drive our mission forward. Feel free to reach out to him at
