Outside of work, Charlotte is a mum of two. When the rain in Manchester takes a break, she loves nothing more than being out with her husband, little boys and the dog and her favourite place to be is by the sea. In the five minutes a day she now has to spare, she loves to curl up with a good book – of the trashy variety only of course!

“I would just like to thank you personally for all of your kindness, care and concern, which ran throughout all of your professional and efficient services.
