Meet the Peter Charles team

Since we opened the doors in 1996, no one has ever been fired for hiring Peter Charles. In fact, there have been several promotions.

"Time and time again I rediscover that the first and most crucial factor in any difficult business situation is to get useful numbers early enough to tell everyone concerned which problem to solve and which problem to solve first."

Nick

"Every type of change, whether it's for growth, contraction, or in response to changing needs, is actually a transformation – if your aim is to get it right..."

Eleanor

"Bright people have better ideas when they explain them to someone else."

Anthony

"I look at the interface between finance and the rest of the business."

    Jill

    Stella

    "I aim to be there from the start; laying the foundations, tracking progress, ensuring projects stay on course – right through to completion."

      Sharyn

      "A plan created and agreed by stakeholders reduces the risk of surprises."

        "No communication is a communication. That's why it's always best to communicate internally first."

          "When managing a project, it pays to be able to interpret the objectives and intentions of the lay people to the technical people – and vice versa."
