Entrepreneurs With A Conscience finalist

Alexandra Bishop, Biome Lifestyle Ltd, London
It's no secret that the UK's collective environmental conscience continues to grow and Alexandra Bishop's online shop Biome Lifestyle is the perfect answer for those searching for a way to kit out their homes with super-stylish yet environmentally friendly products.

 
Having relinquished a job in banking, and the security that went with it, Alexandra has worked tirelessly and often alone for the past three years in order to achieve her vision. From working in the postal room to undertaking PR, organising the accounts and tackling sales, her involvement in every aspect of the business has been the key to its success and is also what makes it so fulfilling for her.

 
Her commitment to running an ethical business knows no bounds; every product is handpicked according to its eco-credentials. Alexandra is also passionate about working with fair-trade co-operatives and helping more overseas communities. Biome Lifestyle is a proud sponsor of a UK based charitable trust working in Malawi - The Nyumba Ya Thanzi.

 
Her determination enabled her to withstand seven day weeks and a total absence of salary and now these sacrifices have paid off as her site continues to rapidly grow in popularity.
