Max Goulden

Max is the Managing Director of Control Union (UK). With a strong focus on client service and developing new opportunities, Max works to grow and strengthen Control Union (UK’s) already well-established certification business across our core sectors: textiles, timber, marine, agriculture, plastics, biofuels, food safety and social compliance. In addition, he supports our industrial inspections and commodities inspections services.

Max joined us in January 2023 from the UK based Consultancy company, Macalister Elliott and Partners Ltd (MEP), who are part of the same parent company – Royal Peterson Control Union. At MEP he operated as Managing Director for the past six years covering all areas of fisheries and aquaculture consultancy. Prior to that Max was responsible for the creation of one of the first accredited certification bodies in the UK against the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard and it was during this role that the link with Control Union was developed.
