Bio
Charlotte Picknell
I worked with Charlie during our time as Leads in the Physical Performance Centres. He is a reliable colleague that has an extremely high professional standard. His knowledge and passion for health, fitness and the scientific principles that attach to these are second to none. His applied work to demonstrate and teach the above to recruits with English as a second language (or none at all) was notable and his approach would be flexible to situations that arise that may cause confusion or miscommunication. As an individual he is an outgoing, friendly colleague with a good sense of humour but in the same breath is able to understand the correct tone when this is appropriate. I wish Charlie well in his future endeavours and hope that one day our paths cross again to work together.

To start with, I was very fortunate to work under Charles's supervision. For the past three years Charles was my centre manager of PRW (Physical Readiness Wing) Department. I was able next to him to enhance my sports scientist knowledge along all necessary management skills. Moreover, excellent communication approach with all staff and very determined to endeavor and solve any facing problems. Personally, I will always highly recommend him as a great asset to any corporation.
