Celebrating the legacy of Dr Meredith Belbin
Belbin Week
Celebrating the legacy of Dr Meredith Belbin.
Meredith Belbin, founder and patron of Belbin Ltd passed away on the 6th March at the age of 98.
Known as the father of Team Roles, Meredith’s seminal work into teams – why some succeed whilst others fail – has been the cornerstone of team understanding and effectiveness for more than 40 years.
Meredith would have celebrated his 99th birthday on 4th June, so we will be celebrating his life and work over the course of the week beginning 2nd June 2025.
We’d love to invite you to help us celebrate.
How to get involved
We are a small company, and we don’t have the marketing muscle that many organisations have. So please help us to raise the noise levels on LinkedIn and within your own communities.
Here are some ways that you can get involved during Belbin week, which will be held 2nd June – 6th June 2025.
There are a list of free to attend webinars at the bottom of this page - we will be adding to these over the next few days.
