Pip Murray joins B Lab UK board
In April, the founder of Pip & Nut was inducted onto B Lab’s board of trustees for a three year term. Chair of the Board Mary Johnstone-Louis shares more on her appointment.
Earlier this year I was pleased to announce a renewal of B Lab UK’s board, with three new trustees joining us to help us achieve our ambitious goals. At that time, I mentioned that we were continuing to identify board members from the B Corp community who could share their unique experience and perspectives. I’m delighted to announce that Pip Murray is joining us for a three year term.
