Tell us about a typical day in your role at James Cropper

CF
I’m based outside Milan, Italy instead of Kendal where the mill is, so most of my days are working from home with Teams meetings, emails, calls. My favourite thing about being in sales is meeting clients face to face, so any day I get to meet with clients in person is a good day. I like to get to the mill roughly every two months so people can remember what I look like!

Which three things would you take to a desert island?

CF
My Spotify account, headphones, coffee. After all these years of living in Italy you would think I have complicated coffee tastes but mine is quite simple: espresso with hot water (an americano), no sugar or milk.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

CF
Having a gleaming Campari Spritz on a Friday evening, while watching K-Dramas, Friday evenings are my favourite, and I like taking that moment to relax to let go of the busy week and slow down.
