Bazaar Group CEO, Mark Dolder, has been featured in this month's Luxe Magazine for his support of Dame Allan's inspirational lecture series. Having attended Dame Allan's Schools from 1971-78, Dolder has worked closely with the school to assemble a remarkable lineup of speakers, aimed at empowering and inspiring pupils to work hard and achieve their goals in life.
This year's roster included renowned names such as bakery business magnate Jonathan Warburton, Jo Fairley of Green & Blacks chocolate, sports psychologist Damian Hughes, and historian and TV presenter Lucy Worsley OBE.
"The lecture series allows me to give back to my alma mater, support future leaders, and enrich educational experiences for current students," says Dolder. "I value mentorship and diverse perspectives in shaping young minds. By bringing inspiring speakers to Dame Allan's, we broaden horizons, spark curiosity, and inspire ambition. It's my way of showing appreciation to the school while investing in future generations. I'm passionate about encouraging others to give back too, as I have personally benefited greatly from it." - Mark Dolder
