Quick-Fire Q&A: Fiona Barratt Campbell, founder of Fiona Barratt Interiors and FBC London
Favourite Great British brand? Alexander McQueen. I have been wearing the clothes for a long time. I love the cut and slightly edgy vibe as well as the fact they are timeless!
A book that has changed your life? I don’t often manage to read a book, however I am very nearly finished Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. I really enjoy this type of factual book.
Who is your Great British hero? My husband (Fiona is married to footballer Sol Campbell). He has been a consummate professional throughout his career at club and country level, and has achieved so many accolades.
What are you watching at the moment? I have just finished watching The Crown and The Undoing.
What is your favourite Great British dish? Fish and chips.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? My grandfather and my parents for their business acumen and down to earth, no-nonsense attitude and morals.
Where is your Great British undiscovered gem? Northumberland. Stunning countryside and some amazing restaurants all using local produce.
Describe your ‘new normal’? Almost achieving a work life balance.
What’s your favourite Great British car? Range Rover.
What’s your best tip for life? Keep it real, keep it simple.
