Sam Ludlow Taylor

Sam Ludlow Taylor is an Ethical Trade Manager at Waitrose & Partners, a role she held for 10 months prior to which she has 10 years experience working in the ethical trade industry.

Sam began her career as a Merchandiser at Home Base and then Debenhams, and moved into ethical trade during her time there. From here she took a step into a supply chain role working for a UK based clothing agent principally looking after Tier 1 factories and then for a soft drinks brand where the focus was on Tier 1 factories and also raw material and commodities sourcing.

Drawing on experience from the buying/merchandising side, the supplier/agent side and the retailer and brand sides of business has been critical to Sam’s development of the Waitrose & Partner’s ethical trade work focusing on partnerships with the supply base to drive the ethical trade agenda forward together.
