Traidcraft
Lion Books (Verlag)
978-0-7459-8104-8 (ISBN)
Traidcraft was always an initiative rooted in the Christian faith and those origins are explored, as are the challenges of putting faith into action through a different way of doing business. Including contributions from many ex-members of staff, including its founder, as well as external collaborators and producers, this is a fascinating history of a truly revolutionary company.
Joe Osman has been described as a Fair Trade specialist, with over 40 years' experience, joining Traidcraft in the early 1980s and playing a central role in the company. Having left Traidcraft in 2019 he decided to chart the history and legacy of this unique organisation. Joe operated at a senior level within Traidcraft for many years, including more than 12 years as a director, and has represented Traidcraft on numerous occasions throughout the UK and beyond.
Foreword by Dr John Sentamu, former Archbishop of York
