Nick Saxby

As a former award-winning teacher, Nick has a great deal of experience communicating ideas, and engaging people about the subjects he cares about. Nick brings his learning expertise to Cocoa Runners’ extensive programme of virtual and in-person chocolate tastings and educational sessions. With a passion for wildlife and conservation, Nick previously worked with wildlife in a number of locations, and as a lodge manager and field guide in South Africa. It’s this passion for nature that brought him into the chocolate space. In his Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health master’s degree, Nick’s thesis focused on the use of cacao agroforestry for biodiversity conservation. Nick is an enthusiastic advocate for craft chocolate, exploring ways that it can save the world — he can’t wait to share his knowledge with you.
