Meet Mark - The embodiment of community and charity
Mark Adlestone OBE DL is nothing short of an Anglo-Jewish legend – a pillar of our community.
Chairman of internationally-renowned Beaverbook’s the Jewellers, High Sheriff of Greater Manchester 2019/20, Deputy Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, and trustee and supporter to some of the country’s most impactful and influential organisations, Mark’s passion for philanthropy and his drive to help others is infectious.
Awarded the OBE in 2015 for ‘Services to Business and Charity in the North of England’, Mark’s impressive portfolio of achievements also include his tenure as Board Member, former Chairman, and current Honorary Patron of The Fed.
With a legacy of giving that is almost unmatched in corporate circles, Mark’s leadership and development of Beaverbook’s charitable endeavours has seen the business donate more than £16 million to various charities since 2000.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Mark reveals the force behind his ambition, his belief in the importance of organisational sustainability, why inculcating a culture of charity within a business benefits not just the beneficiaries but the business itself in the long term, and why engaging the younger members of a community in charitable work is so essential – and, of course, how The Fed has impacted his life.
