Karen and Jack wlecome another different voice onto the podcast this week as they welcome Charlie Gardener to the show. This episode was actually done in person out on location, so you will hear the difference in the interaction and audio.

After a decade of experience in legal, financial and sales roles, Charlie, alongside her engineer husband Lloyd, took the first step in business ownership in 2013.

They recognised an increasing opportunity within the UK construction, utilities and civils sectors and, after turning their first business into an employee-owned trust, were selected as the obvious choice of UK partner for the premium German manufacturer RSP.

Since RSP UK was formed in 2016, the business has gone from strength to strength and has grown to a team of over 40 specialists now serving customers all across the UK.

She shares her unique perspective of why the events sector is so important to their business development model and how they get best value when investing in their approach to events.

We hope you enjoy the insights as much as we did chatting them through with Charlie.
