Key People

Fiona – The Owner, The Innovator, The Visionary – Constantly dreaming up new product ideas and beautiful ways to showcase them, I’m in my happy place in the test kitchen playing with new creations.  You might also find me and my camera creating stunning imagery to help the world see how gorgeous the Damson is.  I rarely sit still for long, but you may occasionally find me engrossed in a good book surrounded by my doting entourage of rescued four legged friends.

Rogan – Marketing, Logistics, Warehouse Manager, labourer, Son & Heir – Entering the next growth phase of the Damson Collection coincided nicely with the completion of my university studies.  Born in the digital age, I love all things marketing, as well as improving the systems, processes, logistics and business basics of the company. My goal is to ensure all Damson lovers can easily find and enjoy our products.  I’m our resident charity marathon runner and have completed several marathons to raise money for spinal research after two friends became paraplegic after snowboarding and mountain biking accidents. After work I head to the local Golf Driving Range or hit the gym (usually it feels like the gym hits me).
