Executive Grooves - Paul Joyce

I’m honoured to introduce the next guest on Executive Grooves: Councillor Paul Joyce, the 784th Mayor of Northampton; a role rooted in more than eight centuries of civic tradition and community leadership. Paul has been part of Northampton’s public life since the formation of the Town Council in 2021, representing Eastfield, while also serving as a West Northamptonshire councillor for Headlands. His commitment to the town runs deep: from his years as a Parent Governor and Chair of Governors at Headlands Primary School, to helping establish the Eastfield and Headlands Community Festival, to championing local groups, charities, and neighbourhood initiatives. As Mayor, Paul and the Mayoress, his wife Mylissa, have dedicated their term to supporting The Lewis Foundation, a Northampton‑based charity providing gift packs to adults undergoing cancer treatment across the Midlands. It’s a cause that reflects Paul’s values — compassion, community, and practical support for those who need it most. Why Paul? Our paths crossed in the most fitting way possible; my amateur dramatics group was performing Dick Whittington, the classic tale of a Lord Mayor, and I reached out to our real local Mayor to support our fundraising efforts. Paul didn’t hesitate. He showed up, backed the cause, and helped turn a great show into a sizeable cheque for his chosen charity. That instinct to get involved (which I've seen many times since) and lift others up, is exactly why I wanted him on the podcast. Our conversation is full of heart, history, humour, and a genuine love for Northampton. And yes, Paul brings his own groove too. A civic rhythm!
