But what a feeling can come over a man just from seeing the things he believes in and hopes for symbolized in the concrete form of a man. In something that gives a focus to all the other things he knows to be real. Something that makes unseen things manifest and allows him to come to his hopes and dreams through his outer eye and through the touch and feel of his natural hand. ↗

At The Body Shop we had always been measured by how many jobs we had created, and I got a major award from the Queen on that. ↗

Consumers have not been told effectively enough that they have huge power and that purchasing and shopping involve a moral choice. ↗
