Goldfinger - Expert Impact

Marie Cudennec,

Goldfinger

Met with Chloe Macintosh

Goldfinger is an award-winning social enterprise that crafts beautiful furniture and objects from reclaimed and sustainable materials, benefitting people and planet.

All Goldfinger profits support its social impact. Through the Goldfinger Academy, Goldfinger teaches marginalised young people the craft of woodworking, so they can progress into meaningful work. The Academy also offers community craft courses, workshops and corporate away-days that enhance wellbeing and celebrate the joys of making.

Goldinger supports its community through People’s Kitchen: To Your Door, delivering hot meals and doorstep chats to vulnerable and isolated North Kensington residents.

Chloe was a charismatic mixture of a doer and a carer- she took time to listen to me and was generous with her insights and advice. She is the type of person that you want to try to work hard to earn the respect of, and then enjoy keeping it once you have!
