Meet John, the driving force behind The Fair Co.’s Business Engagement Team. From opening new business opportunities to championing genuine inclusion, he’s helped reshape our offerings and secure major wins. Off duty, he brings bass‑player energy—and once even shared a stage with Jimmy Barnes.
Seven days into the job, our new CEO Michelle Cunningham is already setting the tone for her leadership: energetic, human and unapologetically purpose-driven. After two years shaping The Fair Co.’s evolution, from governance and partnerships to social enterprise certification, she’s now focused on one thing: helping our people, clients and partners thrive.
Thriving workplaces don’t happen by accident. They’re shaped through fairness, inclusion and the everyday choices leaders make. This piece by our Senior Manager of Client Solutions, Suze Hewitt, looks at what inclusive leadership really involves…the behaviours, systems and design principles that help people feel valued, supported and able to do their best work.
Chris Buckingham concludes his tenure as CEO of The Fair Co. after leading significant growth and transformation. Michelle Cunningham will step in as CEO to guide the next chapter with stability and purpose.
The Fair Co. acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work. We pay our respects to their culture, their connections to Country and community, and to Elders past and present.
