The Telegraph Business Club is a key information source of business information, case studies, profiles and success stories, read in the UK and throughout the world. This seven-minute film on Common Purpose features the charity's Chair of Trustees, Sir David Bell, trustee Chris Mathias and Common Purpose Chief Executive, Julia Middleton. It also features footage from the organisation's cross-sector based courses.

The film's focus is the international expansion of Common Purpose's franchise model to over 50 locations around the world without diluting the core essence of its brand.

"We are telling our story at a time when we are celebrating our 21st year and reminding people that you really cannot get a learning experience like we offer anywhere else in the world," says Julia Middleton, Chief Executive. "Our aim is - and has always been - to provide our participants and our alumni with an experience that is extraordinary and shapes how they approach leadership challenges and opportunities.

"There are so many leadership challenges around the world right now, and leaders cannot confront these issues and make a positive change without reaching outside the arena in which they are comfortable.

"This is what we help them do - we take them to places they would never otherwise visit, we facilitate a network that allows people to speak to and learn from those they would never otherwise meet," says Julia Middleton. "At a time when working across sectors and borders has never been more imperative to shaping the societies we live in, I am proud of what our participants and alumni take away from our courses - and I know it gives them value."

The film will feature on the Telegraph Business Club website for six months.
