ULTRA Wales Group 6 Leader Blanche Sainsbury
Our next group to open in Wales is chaired by Blanche in May this year in Cardiff. This is our 6th group for Wales and the group chair will be one of the most prominent business leaders in Wales. She is Founder of the National Children’s Awards for Britain, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. She is an experienced Chairman and Executive Director working at board level with a strong track record of commercial success and transformational digital change. Her experience stretches to Executive and Non-Executive roles at both listed and private companies: from Chairman of Bluestone National Parks, to Executive Commercial Director at one of the world’s largest media groups – Trinity Mirror plc (now Reach plc).
This new group starts in mid-May on a Tuesday from 2.30pm to 5.45pm in Cardiff’s The Ivy in their private dining room.
ULTRA is by invitation only; however, we welcome expressions of interest from Founders, CEOs, MDs and board-level directors of £multi-million businesses.

Our mission is to create a network of game-changing leaders.
It can be lonely at the top, and time is precious. ULTRA has been developed to equip our members with the ability to navigate seismic social, political and economic changes as well as rapidly-advancing technologies. We provide a crucial monthly gathering for busy business leaders to achieve extraordinary results in just two and a half hours. It is a ‘condensed’ mastermind and peer group in one, providing high-calibre support, networking, learning, and problem-solving.
Ultra meetings are a uniquely confidential space where objective, independent insights and interventions can make an incalculable difference, whether personal or professional.
We champion cognitive diversity: different and original thinking around how to approach challenges and achieve the vision.
Our members give and gain fresh insights from the wisdom and experience of their peers and benefit from experts specifically selected to stimulate new ideas around the key needs of the group.
All meetings are underpinned by a confidentiality agreement, enabling ideas to be freely-shared. Members tell us their experience of ULTRA has been transformative.
