Sustainability: Now and for the Future, with Helen Lord
Manage episode 332209150 series 3324974
In this episode, Janet and Matt welcome Helen Lord to the show. As the founder and managing director of Used Kitchen Exchange, Helen explains the origins of the business and how it has since developed into a leading B Corp company.
Launched in November 2015 and based in Cheshire, Used Kitchen Exchange was created to provide an ethical kitchen replacement service. Helen tells us about balancing the challenge of meeting eco criteria without sacrificing customer needs, with their success having earned many accolades including the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.
Like many great success stories, the idea behind Used Kitchen Exchange came from a personal situation, which Helen tells us all about. Thanks to an innovative approach and the support of like minded colleagues, the business has gone from strength to strength.
As Helen describes her professional journey, the final topic of discussion concerns how we can all become more ethically aware and our hopes for B Corp businesses in the future.
