}}Mark Ian Price, Baron Price {{Post-nominals|CVO|country = GBR}} (born 2 March 1961) is a British businessman, Founder of [https://engaging.works/ Engaging Works], Chairman of Fair Trade UK writer and member of the House of Lords. He was a former Managing Director of Waitrose, and Deputy Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership.[1][2][3][4][5] He joined the Conservative government as the Minister of State for Trade and Investment in April 2016.[6] On 3 September 2017 it was announced that Price would leave the government; on 28 September Rona Fairhead was appointed to succeed him.[7][8]

Early life

Price was born and grew up in Crewe, England.[1][3] His father was a corner shop owner, later a wholesaler, and an evangelical preacher.[1][4] He attended Crewe County Grammar School for Boys.

In 1982 Price graduated from Lancaster University with a 2:1 BA degree in Archaeology.[1][3]

Career

He started his career at the John Lewis Partnership as a graduate trainee in 1982,[1][3][4][9] before progressing to become John Lewis store manager in High Wycombe and Cheadle.[2][3][9] In 2005, he joined the John Lewis Partnership Board taking on responsibility for strategy as Development Director. In April 2007, the then Managing Director Steven Esom left the Partnership, and Price was appointed as his replacement.[1][2][3] At the time Waitrose had 183 stores, and within six years this number had increased to 300.

In 2013 it was announced that in addition to his position at Waitrose he would become Deputy Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership, replacing David Barclay who had held the position since 2006.[10]

In October 2015 Price announced he was to leave the John Lewis Partnership in April 2016 after 10 years fulfilling the role of Managing Director of Waitrose.[11] Suggestions have been made saying that Mark may apply for the chairman position of Channel 4.[11][12]

In February 2016 it was announced that Price would become the new Minister of State for Trade, after the resignation of Lord Maude of Horsham, and that he would be made a life peer.[6] On 29 February, he was created Baron Price, of Sturminster Newton in the County of Dorset.[13] He left the Government in September 2017.

In October 2017, Price founded [https://engaging.works/ Engaging Works],a digital platform designed to make the world a little happier it offers happiness surveys and career development opportunities for individuals and businesses.
