Meet Margaret, the strategic thinker and problem-solver helping to drive The Fair Co.’s growth behind the scenes as Director, Commercial & Corporate Services.
As a member of our Executive Leadership Team, Margaret helps keep the business moving forward. Her role touches just about every part of the organisation – finance, governance, people, planning and operations – with a focus on making sure we have the right foundations in place to grow and create lasting impact.
One of the things Margaret loves most about her work is the variety. She might be reviewing financial performance, contributing to strategic planning, strengthening internal processes or helping the team navigate new opportunities. Whatever the task, her focus is always the same: results driven and helping the business operate effectively and sustainably.
What drew Margaret to this field was the chance to combine strong business practices with meaningful outcomes. She’s passionate about helping organisations achieve their goals while making a positive difference, which is what makes working at The Fair Co. so rewarding.
Since joining the team, Margaret has enjoyed being part of our growth journey. From strengthening governance and improving operational frameworks to helping build a platform for long-term success, she’s played an important role in supporting the evolution of the The Fair Co.
A lot of Margaret’s work happens behind the scenes. While others may see the end result, she’s often focused on the planning, risk management, compliance and decision-making that help make those results possible. It’s the kind of work that isn’t always visible, but it’s essential for helping the business stay strong, resilient, and ready for what’s next.
When asked what she’d change about the way businesses operate, Margaret doesn’t hesitate. She’d love to see more organisations take a longer-term view of success. For her, the strongest businesses are the ones that balance commercial performance with social impact, sustainability, and creating value for people and communities.
She’s inspired by leaders who do exactly that – people who prove that strong commercial outcomes and genuine purpose can go hand in hand.
And if The Fair Co were a band?
Margaret would be the band manager. She enjoys looking at the bigger picture, understanding how each person contributes to the whole and helping bring it all together. After all, great results rarely happen by accident – they’re usually the product of good planning and collaboration.
