Show Notes

On this week’s episode of Coffee with Closers, we talk with Mark Tomlinson, the Administrator of a remote British outpost in the South Pacific called Pitcairn Islands. It is one of the few places in the world that hasn’t had a single confirmed case of COVID-19. Tomlinson discusses his day-to-day duties as Administrator of an Island of approximately 50 people and the challenging but necessary task of getting Covid vaccines from the UK all the way to Pitcairn. He also talked about his professional life as a British Foreign Service Officer.
