Charlotte Grimshaw, Head of Intermediary Relations

Charlotte is no stranger to mutual lenders, having worked for two societies before joining the Ipswich in 2020. Charlotte is all about building relationships with clubs, networks and intermediaries, so she'll often be found with a diary packed full of appointments and raring to get back on the road. When she is not at work, Charlotte enjoys spending time in the kitchen cooking up a storm and is a big fan of eating and drinking.

Charlotte is: fun, hardworking and loves adventure.
