Sam Fairs
Sam pioneered cold-pressed British rapeseed oil to rival olive oil, and still takes great pleasure in seeing production from seed to bottle. Raised in Suffolk, he farms with his father, Alan, and loves walking his crops on bright spring mornings. As Senior Steward of Trade Stands at the annual Suffolk Show, Sam catches up with friends and family while helping on the oils stand.
Clare Fairs
Clare, raised on a farm in the Cambridgeshire fens, loves the countryside and her daily walks with the dogs. Drawing on her chef background, she develops recipes to showcase cold-pressed rapeseed oil at shows, events and in schools. She also helps create our monthly newsletter and feels fortunate to work alongside her husband and family.
Lottie Fairs
Our marketing and sales assistant Lottie is Sam and Clare’s daughter, who has been helping her parents with the family business since she was a child. Lottie studied Business in London before returning to put her new skills into practice in the marketing and sales department. She loves working for the family business and seeing it go from strength to strength.
