Debbie Fletcher Leeds Shop Manager Debbie joined SHARED EARTH straight from university as a trainee manager in our then Bradford branch in 1991. She has seen SHARED EARTH and fair trade grow in popularity steadily over the years. Shop opening hours: Mon - Fri   8:30am - 7:00pm Sat    8:30am - 6:00pm Sun 11:00am - 5:00pm   These hours are subject to change.     After a brief spell in Bradford’s branch, Debbie then moved over to manage the branch in Leeds, which moved into its present location over the summer of 2008. “I remember when I first started at SHARED EARTH, fair trade was such an unknown concept, I must admit even I didn’t know much about it back then! Very few people who came into the shop knew who we were or what we were trying to achieve. “This is our third location in Leeds and every time the shop gets bigger, better and busier! Since Leeds became a fairtrade city back in 2004 we have seen a real improvement in people's understanding of fair trade and their wish to get involved. It has really taken off and we are the clear proof that a retail business can grow and make a profit whilst trading fairly and ethically. I’m really proud to have been part of such a success story as SHARED EARTH for so many years” 40 Woodhouse Lane Leeds LS2 8LX Tel +44(0)1132 457660 Find us on a map

Leeds 1st Network Night

On Thursday October 30th 2008, Leeds held their first Network Night. “The idea was first to just have a gathering of people linked to Shared Earth and Fair Trade in general to come along and celebrate the Leeds branch successful opening of our newly located shop,” explains Debbie Fletcher the branch manager. “But as time went on, I thought it would be nice to turn it into an opportunity for representatives from local campaign groups to come and not only see the shop, but also meet with old acquaintances and make some new ones."
