Building business, teams and individuals
About Us
Norfolk Light is owned and operated by Jeremy Mead and Lynne Thomas-Mead, the commonality in last name is not an accident! 
 
Dr Jeremy Mead

Jeremy is a successful senior manager, who developed himself and his career in many roles within a global consumer goods business. Driven by his personal strengths and preferences, his work evolved towards coaching of senior business leaders and their teams. In 2004, he established Norfolk Light, a business dedicated to delivering excellence in business performance coaching.  The core of his work is to help people clarify results they want to achieve (on a business, interpersonal and personal level) and then act to achieve them. In doing this, people establish new and sustainable behaviours which bring them an increased level of business success and personal fulfillment. Jeremy has over 20 years experience in operational and strategic leadership of small and large businesses and has developed his coaching practice alongside this.

Lynne Thomas-Mead

Lynne had a very successful career with Unilever over a period of 20 years, during which time she demonstrated an exceptional ability to deliver large scale, entrepreneurial projects and develop high performance teams. She joined Norfolk Light full time at the end of 2005 and has focused on working with entrepreneurs in starting up new businesses.

Family life 

We are an active family, enjoying sailing, camping and cycling.  We spend most of our summers sailing the coasts of eastern England and northern France. The appeal of sailing is in the exploration new places and coping together as a family with whatever is thrown at  us.  Much of the time at home is spent around the kitchen table; talking, cooking and drinking wine.

Why are we called Norfolk Light?

Our name is a tribute to the quality of light and air found in North Norfolk, on the east coast of the United Kingdom.  Here the air is clear, sharp, and energising.  It is an enabling environment, with tremendous restorative powers.  It is one of our favourite places to be, and provides the inspiration for what we set out to achieve...

"Jeremy brings an infectious energy and creative spark to his work which never fails to engage and challenge those with whom he interacts - whether as team colleagues or as participants. More importantly, however, he operates from deep-seated values and demonstrates a real gift for identifying, connecting with and building the potential of individuals and teams. Working with Jeremy over a number of years has been a stimulating and rewarding experience, which I wholeheartedly recommend."

Paul Baumann, ex-Head of Unilever Finance Academy


"Lynne is a very genuine person whose clear thinking helped me to self-motivate and focus on the important issues.  Encouraging me to step back from the detail, she challenged me to look at my business as a bigger enterprise than I had first envisaged.  With her continued positive support we have built a secure base to drive our business forward.  Lynne offers new business owners a wealth of experience and I would recommend her highly."
