Charles White

Malmesbury,Wiltshire

Summary

I ran 5 fishing lodges in Northern Russia with up to 60 clients at a time and over 150 Russian staff - none of whom were educated to any standard and certainly were not trained in high end client trip experience.

Over time, we built a fully cohesive team who all enjoyed each other's company which enormously benefitted the clients overall experience.

I have continuously but gently strived to ensure our clients have the very best service that they can from our team - I firmly believe we have achieved that whilst maintaining brand loyalty and integrity.

I enjoy being around people and that has happily been reciprocated

Work history

Director of Fishing

Roxtons
Hungerford, Berkshire
2002.05 - Current

I was originally employed to run one of Roxtons' Russian fishing camps as a junior manager. After 3 years I was a board director and in charge of the fishing department offering high net worth clients multiple worldwide destinations

I took gross profit from £300k per annum to just shy of £1m before Covid and the Ukraine war intervened.

I forged strong relationships with suppliers and clients all over the world whilst maintaining a happy and united team in the office.

My key skills are as a communicator, decision maker and team builder.

Assistant to the senior partner

JM FINN
London
1998.09 - 2022.05

JM FINN is a highly respected private stockbroker and after 6 months learning the ropes with various junior partners, I was asked to join the Senior Partner's team.

My role was largely to speak to and to communicate our ideas to our clients.

It was an excellent job and I learnt a huge amount as to how to reassure, encourage and to engage.

I left to pursue a passion and still have excellent friends who work in the company.
