Fiona Hampton

Born in Cheshire, Fiona Hampton & her husband Michael have two teenage children, Georgia and Tom; having lived in Congleton for more than thirty years, she cares deeply about the development of the town where her children are growing up.

Since graduating from Manchester University with a BA in Clothing, Fiona has worked for Berisfords Ribbons for twenty three years, now holding the position of Marketing and Design Director.

As she says, ‘Congleton has great potential and much to offer as a market town and the proposed improvements will enhance its attraction. With my children growing up in the town, my contribution is from an image perspective, creating a brand that the Town can adopt to further encourage visitors, businesses and residents and ultimately make the town a much better place to spend time in both for work and leisure.  I hope that I will be able to bring creativity, style, design and marketing skills to the BEAR team.’

Outside work Fiona & her family enjoy spending time in Portugal where they are lucky enough to have a beautiful house.  She loves shopping, cooking and gardening, and is always looking for ideas and inspiration to improve their homes.  Rugby, football and cricket are high on the list of sports that play an important part in family life, with Fiona also playing her part as a Parent Governor at one of the local High Schools.
