Julia has always believed that business can be a force for good. Throughout her career she has sought to harness the positive impact of business as a platform for growth. She launched the biggest ever commitment, at the time, to Fairtrade in testament to that belief.

She is now working to move Europe’s largest cane refiner to fully sustainable supply.  In her role as ASR Group Europe, Director of Sugar Ethics, Julia is responsible for developing, implementing and continuously improving a sustainability strategy which balances sustainability outcomes with risk management and commercial needs across the raw sugar supply chain for three cane sugar refineries, Tate & Lyle Sugars, Sidul Acucares and SRB. She works closely with the trading desk to manage the risks associated with C900,000 tonnes of raw sugar from suppliers in 18 countries and with sales to ensure we understand and meet the needs of customers.

Julia joined Tate & Lyle sugars in 2004 as Head of Marketing, having worked previously in marketing roles at Dairy Crest and Nestle.
