It’s very rare to find in the same person the ability to design and create beautiful products, to develop a successful business in a complicated and fast changing industry like fashion, to build up Fairtrade and organic supply chains in India, Bangladesh or Kenya and to deliver social, economic and environmental impact for marginalised people. Safia is a combination of these talents! She’s a great leader and an inspiring woman and I feel very privileged to have the chance to know her.“

“Safia Minney is an inspirational speaker with expert knowledge of Fair Trade, ethical consumption, fashion, marketing and PR. I can recommend her as being of the highest caliber both as a formal presenter and as a discussant or more informal panelist. Safia combines passion and enthusiasm with high levels of professionalism and integrity. The various audiences that she has addressed at the University of Oxford have been both informed and stimulated by her talks. She is always worth hearing speak.“
“I've worked with Safia for over 5 years, and I have joined her for press trips and in film and photographic shoot productions in Japan, UK and Bangladesh. She leads a team of creatives and produces to a very high standard, always manages the operations perfectly where ever we are in the works and is an absolute pleasure to work with. The integrity that she brings to her work and her passion have inspired me so much over the years....and I would follow her to the end of the earth! Literally!“
