My name is Carl, I’m a Partner Business Manager and joined eve Wholesale in September 2023.

what did you want to be when you were a kid?

I wanted to be a professional footballer, but that was never going to happen!

what’s something people are often surprised to learn about you?

I’ve run the London marathon twice and during Covid I set myself a challenge called “ Get Carlos Home for Christmas”, where I ran 124 miles on a treadmill from the 1st December to the 24th December, raising over £1.5k for Mind UK mental health charity.

coffee or tea? early bird or night owl?

Definitely a morning person with a strong cup of coffee. Although when I’m in the office, I do enjoy a good cup of tea.

your role & journey
