Jeremy Piercy speaks about the success of the recent India trip
Shared Earth’s recent trip to India was a huge success with news stories being printed all over the UK in magazines and newspapers.
Jeremy Piercy, founder of Shared Earth organised the India trip, “During our visit we reviewed a selection of Fair Trade projects set up by Indian suppliers, which are designed to give back to the community. We visited a slum school, orphanage, workshops and schools all of which have been set up or funded through Fair Trade. It was a pleasure to view the progress and positive impact for workers, families and communities. With an increase in sales of 8% within our shops, we are hopeful of a positive take up for our Shared Earth franchise package which is the first of its kind within the UK. This project will undoubtedly give even more work to world-wide handicraft suppliers, giving this industry a real boost.”
