We're here to help.
Our dedicated International Sales team takes care of our customers worldwide, while collaborating closely with our colleagues in the US and Canada. The team delivers high-quality hops to brewers globally, through direct sales and our trusted network of distributors. They also manage our export logistics, shipping from our cold storage facilities in Newland and Charles Faram Europe, located in Wilków, Poland.

Ben has worked in International Sales for the best part of the last 10 years and loves the challenge of meeting customer's needs across the world.
Previously heading up a team at a small family-run engineering company, Ben saw the opportunity to join the team at Farams whilst doing a recruitment project. He jumped at the idea of entering into the brewing industry, having previously enjoyed homebrewing and drinking all manner of different beer styles.
Ben enjoys being busy and has been juggling the running of the International department and studying for his General Certificate in Brewing, through the IBD, to improve his knowledge of the brewing process.
Outside of work, Ben enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, listening to music and podcasts, and enjoying a beer or two in his local pub.

International Head of Sales
Andrew has over 30 years of experience in the brewing industry and manages the hop supply of our international supply chain partners.
Andrew has previously worked as a design engineer then during his time playing rugby, he met someone who had just started a brewery. Andrew persistently asked for a job and was offered one. He then began travelling to different countries with Faram's on selection visits. As business at Charles Faram continued to grow, Andrew was invited to join the team, and he has not looked back ever since.
The opportunity to travel and meet different brewers and try beers from around the world is his favourite part of his role and is a great way for him to connect with the global brewing community.
Andrew's hobbies include rugby, music, gardening and of course, having a beer at the pub. Cheers to that.

Dan is from Ledbury and has plenty of previous experience working in the brewing industry, as his family has always been involved with hops.
His family has been involved in every step of the hop journey, from growing and picking to processing, lab-testing, and storing, which led Dan to complete the journey by joining the team at Farams. Lupulin runs in his veins!
Dan loves playing golf and holds a season ticket for Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is eager to maintain and expand Charles Faram's European customer base.
While serving as a SIBA beer judge, Dan's most embarrassing industry moment occurred when he solely relied on his desire for another pint to form his opinions.
