I am Charlotte Mouncey, an avid reader who loves working with books, I work with publishers and directly with authors to create beautiful books. I'm a graduate of Manchester Polytechnic with a BA Hons in Design for Communication Media (Graphics.) I've specialised in cover design and typesetting since I became a freelance designer in 2007. I also volunteer at my local community run library as a librarian, helping keep it open so everyone has a chance to enjoy books.

    Account ManagerHavelock Europa
     - Full Time
    I joined Havelock as a project manager working on the Boots team. We were allocated refit jobs at Boots stores throughout the country for which we were responsible for the manufacture and delivery of the furniture and fittings including joinery, metalwork, glass and signage. Our aim was to maintain client confidence whilst maintaining profitability within the very tight margins of manufacturing. From this team I was soon put in charge of the Arcadia account, managing the introduction of a new store concept for Evans, to be rolled out across 600 sites. This involved working very closely with the Arcadia in house design team and our own designers producing prototypes and delivering a concept store on Oxford Street in a tight timescale. As the account developed I recruited two more project managers who were direct reports to me. In addition to Arcadia I also managed Nike UK store refits at Manchester United and Celtic.
