THE FAMILY TABLE
Bringing people together is part of what we love doing the most, and in October we hosted an intimate discussion with inspiring and progressive leaders, thinkers, doers and changemakers at our first Family Table.
The setting? One of the most glorious regenerative spaces in Frome, Vallis Farm.
The guests? Some of the most forward-thinking creative leaders in the South West.
The topic? Leading with Purpose.
Around the table, conversation flowed around what it really takes to embed purpose into the way we work, lead and live.
We were delighted to be joined by…
Rosie Wollacott Philips, Head of Group Sustainability at Mulberry
Andy Hawkins B Leader and B Corp Consultant
Dan Srokosz, Creative Director, Agency UK
Sarah Robins, Sustainability Manager, Banner UK
Lowri Rhys, Head of Brand, Pact
Jack Horner, Creative Strategist and Founder of nearfield Magazine
Megan Morass, Co-founder & Co-CEO, Full Fat
Shane O’Docherty, Founder, Dark Union
Rik Haines, Managing Director, Positive Experience
Michelle Fischer, Creative Director, Positive Experience
Victoria Robinson, New Business and Sustainability Manager, Positive Experience
Expectations around balancing purpose and profit are increasing. It’s no longer enough to talk about it, brands need to act and show results. This roundtable was a chance to share honest reflections, practical ideas and approaches that work, and learn from each other’s experiences.
A few key themes stood out:
Think local – the power of building ecosystems within 25 miles, connecting sustainability, creativity and community.
Make purpose part of daily culture – from ways to educate your workforce and bring everyone into the conversation.
Measure what matters – tools and data give credibility, helping boards and CFOs see that purpose drives value, not cost.
Lead with creativity – because people need to feel purpose, not just hear about it.
