Charmaine Brown

Director

Charmaine is also a busy mother of three. As a qualified accountant she volunteers a lot of her time as treasurer for a number of organisations with what little 'spare' time she has. Charmaine never saw herself as a company director but her eldest son William is such an inspiration to her that she's made it her mission to ensure every parent and professional living or working with children like William are empowered to teach in a way that maximises the potential of these special children.
