Shared Earth
Shared Earth, founded in York in 1986 by Jeremy Piercy, emerged from his desire to address global wealth imbalance and environmental issues through Fair Trade. Initially offering a diverse mix of products from Asia, Africa, and South America, the shop quickly responded to high demand for Fair Trade gifts by introducing its own brand items, including recycled paper greetings cards and T-shirts. Today, with a shop also located in Liverpool, Shared Earth is a large retailer and wholesaler of Fair Trade products, importing unique home and giftware, jewellery, fashion accessories, and more.

Adam’s Apple
On December 12, 1969, the Traynor brothers, Doug and Roger, opened their first shop in Maghull, and their success led to multiple stores across Liverpool. Today, Doug’s last remaining shop at 132 Allerton Road has been a community staple for 35 years. Doug works six days a week, starting at 4am to source fresh produce from Preston Market and meticulously restock the store’s fruit and vegetable display. Over the years, the shop has seen notable visitors like Ken Dodd and Nick Clegg, featured in a ‘Come Dine With Me’ episode, and endured significant events such as the Toxteth Riots and IRA bomb hoaxes. Despite the rise of superstores and online shopping, the Allerton Road shop, surrounded by other independent businesses, remains a hub of social interaction and community support, reflecting Doug’s deep commitment to his lifelong trade.
