Adrian

Managing Director

Hi, my name is Adrian Sutton and I am the Managing director at FMP. I had the pleasure to join FMP in July 2018 and now form part of the senior leadership team on site in Lancaster. I have over 30 years of experience in medical device and pharma manufacturing, which will be used to support our people and company strategy and vision. I take a great deal of enjoyment from developing people so that they can meet potential challenges. Here at FMP we have a great family of employees, with a wealth of experience and dedication to the company, I look forward to working with them all and developing a successful and rewarding place to work.

Trisha

Trisha

Commercial Manager

I have worked at FMP since 2009. I started with FMP in a temporary role as a Sales Administrator before effectively working my way through the business to become part of the Senior Leadership Team in 2018. Being involved with both the strategy and growth of the business over the last 6 years has been exciting and challenging to say the least. Growth from £12.4m in 2018 to £21m in 2023 has made it an exciting journey. FMP has a great family feeling ,despite the rapid growth that we have seen over the last few years, it really makes it a joyous place to work. I have extensive knowledge in Customer Relations and really enjoy meeting and developing relationships with both existing and new partners of FMP. I have returned to education to further my career and despite being faced with new challenges I am surprisingly enjoying it. Team collaboration and the development of my team has always been really important to me and watching them develop and go from strength to strength has been very rewarding indeed. I am very passionate about introducing new technologies and processes to FMP and the future is looking very exciting…..

Hello my name is Wayne Fletcher and I am the Finance Manager at FMP. A qualified Chartered Accountant (CIMA), I joined the Company in 2015 as Business Improvement Manager and transitioned into the new role in 2020. My journey through the magical world of finance started in the automotive industry back in the eighties (yes I really am that old!), then wine and spirits (hic!), jumping from equestrian to oil and gas… and now my final resting place in medical. I have the spreadsheet scars to prove it. I am passionate about business and strive to make a difference and am proud to be part of an extremely good team here at FMP.
