The Big Interview: Staying strong

Resilience runs deep in Lancashire cheesemakers like Gill Hall. It’s made them as strong and as distinct as the products they create in the shadow of Beacon Fell.

And it’s that resilience that gives Gill confidence that they can and will overcome the challenges and threats posed by the coronavirus crisis.

“We’ve survived the war and foot and mouth, we’ve survived different difficult situations and times, and we will survive this,” she declares.

Gill makes her rallying call as she and her team are working hard to meet this latest challenge facing the family business. She says: “It has been a little bit overwhelming. We are very much reacting to things as they happen.”
