Here's what Tim had to say about being elected:

"I'm so honoured to be a staff-elected Trustee on the EBT board. It's been almost eight years with Lush for me, in two different countries, and across that time I have met so many fantastic employees and been able to be a champion of both the customer experience and, through the EBT, employee voice as well. I'm so excited and honoured to join the fold and to get some representation for us here down under on the EBT board!"

Staff Elected Trustee: Lush

"I'm so humbled to be a staff-elected Trustee on the EBT Board. Being chosen by a group of EBT reps from around the world – people who are so driven and passionate about our ethics – is something I will never forget. Having worked at Lush for the past 10 years, I’m excited to take on this role: to listen, represent the employee voice, and act as a guardian of the Lush Ethical Charter at Trustee level. Before joining Lush, I worked for a small company that was sold shortly after I started, and I witnessed how quickly a company’s values can be diluted, leading to a downward spiral. That’s why I’m so proud to be part of a business that, through the EBT, is so focused on protecting its future and the values we all care so deeply about!"

Independent Trustee

Helen brings with her over twenty years experience in the Employee Owned sector in an operational and non-executive capacity and is currently Trustee for several purpose led organisations.

“ Working with organisations that care for their people, communities, and planet deeply matters to me and I am truly inspired by Lush’s commitment to core values and ethical standards. I spent 18 years at John Lewis Partnership in a variety of independent and operational roles. It was there that I grew a genuine passion and respect for Employee Ownership as I saw in action the difference that ownership can make to an individual and an organisation.”

“Throughout the past year I have been blown away by the scale of your EBT network and the commitment made to strengthen this at every opportunity. You may only be 10% employee owned, but believe me, that 10% is being nurtured, respected, and listened to.”

“I am absolutely delighted to be joining Lush and Cosmetic Warriors as the new Independent Trustee of your Employee Benefit Trusts. Not only do I love your products, but I applaud everything you stand for. Doing work of meaning is of great importance to me and I have enjoyed a career of working with and for several purpose led organisations."
