Welcome Charlotte Pointon

8th June 2025

We are delighted to officially welcome Charlotte Pointon to the office team!

Charlie has been with us since February and has already made a wonderful impression. She brings a calm, capable presence and is truly a safe pair of hands - kind, reliable, and always ready to help. With a wealth of experience from her previous role in online journal publishing of health innovation and government research, she managed credit control and production, liaising with clients across the globe.

Before that, Charlie spent 10 years working on an acute mental health ward and is both a trained and registered Mental Health First Aider. Her passion for supporting others and promoting wellbeing is a wonderful addition to our workplace culture and frankly comes in quite handy sometimes!

Outside of work, Charlie is a proud mum of three, married to her childhood sweetheart Ben, and keeps busy with family life. She's a keen baker, enjoys long walks, and loves cheering on her husband and daughters in their musical adventures on TikTok.

Charlotte grew up with cats, had a beloved family dog named Scamp, and has just welcomed a new kitten, Bray, into the home.

We're so pleased to have you with us, Charlie, and we know you all will love her on the other end of the phone!
