Trudy Franklin-Slattery

Customer Experience Assistant

I live in Hook Norton which is famous for the oldest independent Brewery, unfortunately I don't like beer! I'm married to Paul and have 2 miniature schnauzers Quincy and Jackson. Love walking, watching a good series or movie, and love catching up with family. I have been an event manager for 16 years which was great fun, each week was different. I'm excited to join the team and looking forward to my new career as CEA at Culham IC.
