Mark Richardson

Mark’s career has been driven by a passion for fairness, and for enabling people to reach their potential, particularly the most disadvantaged members of our society. When he left university, he was one of the founders of Aspire, a social enterprise that employs and trains homeless people.  In 2006, he became chief executive of Fairtrade Wales, developing and running the campaign to make Wales the world’s first fair trade country.  Mark then joined Dwyfor Coffee to support the growth of Fairtrade by providing a reliable supply; he also wanted to develop my own business skills in the private sector in order to bring that learning back into the third sector.
