Work Hard, Give Hard w/ Mark Adlestone OBE DL

My guest this week is Executive Chairman of Beaverbrooks the Jewellers, Deputy Lieutenant and recently Retired High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Mark Adlestone OBE DL. Mark is one of the most interesting people I’ve had the fortune to meet so far, as he has unique perspective on what someone should do with their time if they have the resources available. Since the year 2000, Beaverbrooks, under Mark, have donated over £14.5m to over 750 different charities via the Beaverbrooks Charitable Trust and has been consistently listed as a Times Top 100 Companies to Work For since 2004. Like me, Mark is Jewish, and we talk a bit about what that means to him both spiritually and culturally, and the responsibility he feels to do good in the world; not just within the community we live in, but the wider community as well.
