Material Matters sit down with Mark Cropper, 6th generation Chairman here at James Cropper.
The two sat down to discuss the history of making paper at Burneside; why the railway revolutionised the company; weathering economic storms; coping with COVID; how the company started making paper from rags (rather than wood pulp); creating carbon fibre paper; making paper by hand again; the importance of looking after the material’s heritage; and attempting to unite the local community through paper.
