Charlotte Edwards

I have worked for the last 9 years in a management team, with each promotion gaining and evolving my management skills to become the Manager I am today. I am a dedicated and responsible person that has a sympathetic and caring method of managing. I am good at multitasking, but also able to prioritise tasks and delegate where necessary. Furthermore, I am an approachable person, as shown from the good rapport I have built with clients at Hope Valley Saddlery and the Hotel, not to mention the liveries at my parent's Livery Yard, where I help in my free time.

I have worked since the age of 15, working two jobs at once to be able to achieve personal ambitions, buying my own horse at 17, buying my own car at 18, buying my house at 21. I am a very driven person and I am not work shy. I enjoy spending time with my horses and dogs, walking, reading and socialising. Family is also very important to me, spending my spare time with them and also helping to run their livery yard and assisting my sister where possible with her small show team and stud.

When I was younger, I enjoyed doing some Agility and obedience with my dog Sadie, whom I later bred from and showed her puppies successfully up to Crufts, only giving this up when all of our now grown puppies had all qualified for Crufts and taking up full time employment as a more senior member of staff as a Supervisor for The Bear's Paw.

I also enjoy fundraising and have done a bungee jump raising £1500, a charity ball raising £11'000 and an online raffle raising £250. All for The Ann Conroy trust, a small charity helping to raise awareness, provide support and fund research for sufferers of Chiari Malformation, something both my twin sister and Dad both have.

Whilst I may have bought my own horse at 17, I still had horses all of my life, starting on my Mum's Shetlands that she had before we were born to moving onto bigger ponies we had as children. So we have always been around them and grown up with them, this building the foundation for the love of horses I have today.
