HMD founder Anna Hart is privileged to have been asked to take part in Design Insiders Sustainability Interview Series. The common theme we saw across all these interviews is the value of open conversations. Being sustainable isn’t something we can do alone as a design practice – we need our clients, our manufacturing partners and the end consumer all to care in order to be able to do a better job, together. Read the interviews here.
We recently asked GAIL’s to take part in our Insight Interview series digging in to how they navigate sustainability as the business grows.
Property Director, Brett Parker and Senior Project Manager, Michelle Pollard-Smith joined us to discuss what they’ve learnt, the opportunities they feel still await and how we can always do better when we share our experiences. If you’re not familiar with GAIL’s then check them out here.
Their first high street bakery was established in 2005; Michelle joining in 2015 and Brett in 2018. Under the leadership of Managing Director, Marta Pogroszewska the business has grown from opening 10 sites a year to opening 30 in 2022 alone and that brings them up to circa 110 stores with further stores underway.
