Jilly Forster
Founder
Jilly is a big thinker with a head for business who has consistently lifted the lid on tough, often taboo, social issues. Previously on the Board of The Body Shop and a Founding Director of The Big Issue, she has always been at the forefront of the progressive business movement.
In 1996, Jilly launched Forster to provide fresh thinking and collaborative working for organisations across the sustainability agenda. She conceived Forster as a values-led business from the outset, dedicated to using the power of communications to protect and improve lives.
From high-profile activists such as Anita Roddick, Richard Branson and Jamie Oliver, to prisoners of conscience and mental health service users, Jilly has consistently used brave ideas and real creativity to solve social problems, change behaviour and improve lives.
