What does it mean to you to be named in the Walpole 2022 Power List?

It is an honour to be named in the Walpole 2022 Power List. It is such a big accolade, I am truly delighted. After ten years of building Noble Isle, this is a defining moment in my journey. It gives me great enthusiasm to continue my work.

What have you achieved in the past year that you are most proud of?

Successfully getting through the last couple of years with all the uncertainty of the global landscape and growing the business from strength-to-strength due to the hard work of my team.

What is 2022 set to look like for your business?

I am now beginning to work on Fine Fragrance (Perfume) which we will launch in 2023. This is a new category for Noble Isle and one that our customers have always asked for, so I am really looking forward to developing this new luxurious product range.

And personally?

I am looking forward to being able to travel again and to visit my best friend in America who I have not seen in four years.
