About me / About business or organisation:

I have been involved in the textile industry for over 10 years. Previously I have been involved in environmental textiles and now I have taken on the role as Ethical Trading Manager at Marks and Spencer. This is a very exciting time at M&S with our new commitments to our Plan A strategy. Being a 'fair partner' (ie ethical trade) is something we view with high regard and we are involved in many projects which aim to make substantial benefit to hundreds of thousands of workers in our supply chain and beyond.
