What does it mean to you to be named in the Walpole 2022 Power List?
The brands that are part of the Walpole group have always been an inspiration to me, so to be recognised for my contribution in this world is certainly an honour.
What have you and your business achieved in the past year that you are most proud of?
It sounds almost too predictable to say it after another year of Covid, but I am most proud of my team’s resilience and the fact they have continued to strive for the very best in difficult circumstances.
What is 2022 set to look like for your business?
We are celebrating our 225-year anniversary in 2022. 225 years of craftsmanship, global adventure, innovation, and sustainable practice. It’s going to be a year jam-packed with inspirational stories, beautiful product and celebrating what matters most to us, the people behind our product.
What are you most looking forward to professionally for 2022?
From a business perspective, 2022 will see us consolidate our positioning as a contemporary, sustainable brand that is your go-to for the most exceptional woven and knitted cashmere and fine woollen products. We are all excited to be celebrating 225 years of trading around the globe with friends of the brand and partners. And personally, of course I’m hoping for more carefree leisure time with my family and friends too.
