Rich has worked in the brewing industry for over 20 years. He has a passion for cask ale having worked for Adnams, Purity and Marston's.
Looking after customers and building long-term, sustainable relationships are his top priorities.
Rich is a family man and loves nothing more than spending quality time with his partner, two daughters and his deaf Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He also enjoys watching NFL and baseball, as well as cooking on his pellet smoker and collecting art.
In terms of embarrassing moments, Richard says that there isn’t enough room for us to list all of them here. Take it from him when he says that he’s basically a one-man episode of “You’ve Been Framed”. So, we will just stick a Go Pro on him at events then – Marketing Department.

Charlie’s role consists of organising Charles Faram's events, and brand awareness, overseeing the website, and social media, keeping an eye on industry trends and challenges and developing future promotions and projects.
Charlie started out in the industry at the start of 2006 working for Titanic Brewery and then moving on to become manager of the Trade Association side of SIBA. She is extremely passionate about politics and all other influences that affect the brewing industry.
In her role at Faram’s Charlie is keen to expand the company mantra of providing the best quality products and as many opportunities for helping brewers with their businesses as possible.
Her hobbies include working at beer festivals, dance, and millinery under the name Rarakoala, giving readings as a psychic medium and anything else that looks fun and does not involve climbing up or jumping from/out of things at height.
Her most embarrassing moment recently is someone knocking her beer over herself and a well-known Scottish brewery owner and multi-nominee at the start of an awards evening. It's still not funny.

Jamie describes his role as “supporting my team to help our customers brew brilliant beer with fantastic ingredients.”
Working in the food and drink industry for more than 15 years, Jamie’s experience encompasses retail, wholesale, events, management, training, recruitment, operations and product development. He’s calm in a crisis and relentlessly positive. – That’s handy right now
Jamie’s food and drink expertise covers wine, spirits, cheese, charcuterie, and chocolate, with beer moving further and further up the list as each week goes by at Faram’s.
Talking about what he enjoys about the role, Jamie says “the passion of my colleagues to do a great job in a positive and supportive way. There’s excellent team spirit across the company and the product innovation is exceptional.”
A most embarrassing moment?
Wine decanters don’t often have indented lips to pour from accurately so can be… tricky to use. Jamie describes only having made one mistake with these but it did end up with very expensive red wine embarrassingly going all over someone’s lap at a client entertainment event.
They had a great sense of humour, as luck would have it! We’ve all been drenched in beer at events at one time or another. “Seen it, done it.” - Charlie

If you ask Beth to describe her role, she says, “visiting breweries and trade events to talk to brewers and anyone who will listen to me whilst representing high-quality hops, malt, yeast and everything a brewery needs”. She does like a good chat.
She also loves the day-to-day variety of the role, communicating with people, seeing different breweries, travelling, working with an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and all-around lovely team, and receiving excellent feedback about Charles Faram & Co.
She’s no newcomer to the industry as she started working in the production planning and statistics department at Frederic Robinson Ltd in Stockport in 1995 and worked her way up to contracts manager brewing and packaging.
Beth’s hobbies are bird watching, photography, walking, and baking.
She won’t tell you about her most embarrassing moment, but I’m sure mid-chin wag it can be coaxed out. For now, she just says, “my ex-colleagues know, but what happens in Robinson’s stays in Robinson’s.”

Mark describes his role as, advice on all things brewing and hop growing, specialising in sales, contracts and service.
Originally from a high street background with Sony (all things geeky...and he loves a good turntable), he was one of the youngest store managers at 23. The store won a national competition which took him to the world cup in 2010…the amazing game was England and Algeria!
Mark then ran a pub for 2 years and won a new licensee of the year which included a trip to Carlsberg in Copenhagen. He then got a bit too old and couldn’t handle the hours, so he started with Charles Faram in the warehouse before moving across into sales.
With his background in customer service, he hopes to bring a further element to the team to compliment the excellent technical support and service that we have.
The best thing about his job is working in a varied and great industry.
Mark has a swimming badge level 3 to add to his accomplishments and lists his hobbies as football, music and movies. He also said that he still plays on a PS4, but the editor thought that we should leave that out.
His most embarrassing moment, considering that he works in the brewing industry is that he is, “an absolute lightweight.”

Dan is from Studley and has lots of experience working in the hospitality industry. He also has a degree in Modern history.
His main area of expertise is working in customer-facing roles where he gets to have lots of experience dealing with the general public.
He got into this role because he fancied a change of scene and thought that working with hops sounded fun (you’re not wrong there Dan!)
Dan hasn’t been in the role for very long, but so far he’s enjoying the challenges involved day to day and that he gets to speak to lots of different people and help them out with their problems.
His hobbies include reading, cooking and eating – sounds good to us!

Jon has spent 8 years at Gadds’ (Ramsgate Brewery) where he cut his teeth in the brewing industry and was eventually elevated to Head Brewer.
This experience and his Diploma in Brewing with passes for modules 1 & 2, make him a fantastic, knowledgeable addition to our pool of technical knowledge and expertise.
The story of how he got into the brewing industry is a familiar one. He was loafing around in Spain, looking for a job in East Kent when Eddie Gadd came to his rescue and gave him a part-time cask washing/racking role.
He says that he loves home brewing, travelling, music, photography and of course, pubs.
Jon says that his most embarrassing moment is; “Forgetting to put a key late hop addition into a Gadds’ seasonal beer. I was mortified but Menno from De Molen tried the beer and thought it was excellent, so that soothed things.”

Molly is from Worcester and has previous experience working in Retail and Property Management.
She enjoys using her customer service skills to provide sales support and help breweries by taking orders and answering any queries that may come in.
Molly joined the team at Faram's as the role was recommended to her when she fancied a change of scene. She enjoys drinking beer so thought the role was a perfect fit!
Molly only started with us very recently, but so far has been enjoying learning more about all the hops we stock and the brewing industry as a whole by speaking to our customers.
Outside of work, Molly loves nothing more than watching Worcester Warriors games, musical theatre, going on dog walks and maybe a few trips to the pub.
As Molly hasn't been at Faram's long there hasn't been a chance for any embarrassing moments yet!
