S5 Together in Manchester | E1 Timpson: Building a Culture of Second Chances

In this episode of Invisible Cities Talks, we kick off our special Manchester season with a powerful conversation featuring Darren from Timpson, one of the UK’s most inspiring employers of people with convictions.

Joined by our Manchester guides Andy and Stephen as co-hosts, we explore how Timpson’s inclusive hiring practices are transforming lives. Darren shares how a chance encounter in a prison over 20 years ago sparked a long-term commitment to second chances, and how their approach, rooted in trust, compassion, and belief in potential, has shaped the company’s culture ever since.

From real stories of resilience and recovery to practical advice for businesses wanting to follow suit, this episode shines a light on what’s possible when people are given an opportunity to thrive.

Tune in for honesty, hope, and a whole lot of inspiration.
