Charlotte Dewhurst

Matalan

I’m an experienced global marketing professional with a passion for people. For the last 20 years, I’ve worked in a variety of different organisations, from start-ups to multi-billion pound retailers, to global family businesses. I’ve travelled all over the world as a result, and people tell me I’ve made a difference – to their businesses but also to them personally. Making a difference to people is my purpose, and this guides me daily.
