Charlotte Ward

Charlotte has worked in the beauty industry now for over 25 years.

A lot has changed but one thing that is still the same for her is the shear pleasure of looking after people.

Charlotte has always been interested in skin and it is hard to stop her once she is on the topic of skin and it's health, and the importance of in-depth skin analysis and diagnostic consults. 

She has worked throughout Taranaki and also in London. 

These days not only does she leads her award winning team with the same passion and drive she always has had, she is run's her public speaking business Charlotte Talks. Her inspiring and always entertaining talks will motivate you and often have you in stitches. I self proclaimed talked, she can talk about almost anything but leadership, personality types in the workplace, building a great team, how to change your life up are some of her favorites and her talk on sun and skin is not to be missed
