Charlotte has lived in Farnham for over 20 years and so is very aware of the role the Maltings plays in the town’s culture and identity. The Maltings has been a constant presence in her family’s life, from children’s dance shows to teenage sewing classes; with films, plays and festivals; and now the University of Third Age, which she’s closely involved in. She wants to help the Maltings thrive into the future, as a central part of life in Farnham. She previously served as a Trustee of the Weydon Multi-Academy Trust, where her children went to school.

Professionally, Charlotte’s experience is in helping organisations develop and change. She’s worked with a wide range of public sector bodies, charities and private sector companies – as a project and programme manager, an external consultant and then the managing director of a company designing and creating digital services. Her focus has always been on people and culture. She has a particular interest in developing the capability and confidence of organisations and individuals, through coaching and skills development, engagement and communication. She’s led a number of initiatives to adapt ways of working, and to help people and teams get the best out of technology.
