Pioneering Co-founder of Green & Black’s Organic Chocolate

Jo Fairley is co-founder of the pioneering organic chocolate company Green & Black’s, which has gone from a niche organic and Fairtrade brand to a global chocolate name. Recently, Green & Black’s was voted ‘Coolest Food Brand in the UK’ for the fifth year running, by Coolbrands.

‘If you don’t do it, you’ll never know what would have happened if you had done it.’

[expand title=”In detail”] Formerly Britain’s youngest-ever magazine editor, Jo has translated her skills as a journalist into marketing, PR and brand-building. Through her presentations, Jo now takes audiences through every aspect of growing a business – from the bravery required to taking that first step, through to the practical and emotional aspects of an ‘exit’ strategy – and achieving that all-important (and elusive) work-life balance en route. Jo continues to juggle her work as a journalist and author with being a brand ambassador for Green & Black’s, as well as running an organic bakery and one-stop local food store and an 11-room ‘boutique’ wellbeing centre, in her up-and-coming home town of Hastings.[/expand]

[expand title=”What she offers you”]Jo’s story is fascinating to entrepreneurs, women’s networking groups and to wider business or educational audiences both in the UK and internationally. Her brand-building experience is inspirational to anyone on a ‘business journey’ of their own. [/expand]

[expand title=”How she presents”]Engaging and passionate, Jo never fails to inspire – and is always happy to network with attendees, offering more direct input to individuals.[/expand]
