Trustees
Borough Market is run by a charitable trust, with the running of the Market devolved to the senior management team


A CHARITY THAT EXISTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
The Act of Parliament from 1754 that helped establish Borough Market in its current form stated that the Market must remain “an estate for the use and benefit” of the local community “for ever”.
The body responsible for fulfilling this daunting remit is a charitable trust, run by a board of volunteer trustees. While the management team is responsible for day-to-day operations, the trust oversees strategic governance. The trustees, who are chosen for the breadth and relevance of their skills and experience, are here to ensure that the Market adapts to changes in the food world and uses its influence to help shape those changes. Ultimately, their responsibility is to pass on the Market to the next generation in the best possible shape. And so on down the line.
Our trustees devolve the day-to-day running of the Market to the senior management team.
