Meet Stephen 👋 Stephen Kirkpatrick is our Head of UK and IRL. Since initiating the project to bring Innowalk & Innowalk Pro to the UK in 2014, Stephen has been a driving force behind the growth and success of our business and products.

Stephen has a passion for nature - particularly forest lakes or ocean views, although you won't typically find him camping. He has been learning Norwegian since 2018, embracing the language and culture of the company's roots.

We asked Stephen some more questions to get to know him a bit better:

❓What do you enjoy most about your role at MFM?
I like working in a modern organisation that values and supports people with a culture of 'side before self'. There is always someone there to help raise you up and help you out when you need it. I love working with our UK team and am delighted to have welcomed three new fantastic team members in the last few months 🤗

❓What do you spend far too much time doing?
Organising the dishwasher properly to maximise space & efficiency, it's a small obsession 🧼

❓How do you switch off?
Working around and building my smallholding in the rural countryside, so far, I have some goats & hens, but we will be welcoming some bee hives in spring. 🐐

❓ What are you better than 90% of people at?
I have a fairly good memory in general, and specifically I work to remember people's names, even after a long time of not meeting.🧠

❓What are you worse than 90% of people at?
Arts & Crafts or watching/participating in team sports.... I get bored very quickly. 🎨

❓If you could attempt a Guinness World Record, what would it be?
To eat as many spicy chicken wings (Vegan) or Vietnamese summer rolls as possible in the shortest amount of time. 🍽

❓What is one thing you have never done but would love to do?
Speak another language fluently and have a conversation with a native speaker, the cherry on the cake would be to make someone laugh in their language. 💬
