🎭⚖️People of EO: Charlie Tomlinson
Charlie joined EO in October last year - but, in his words, “it feels much longer (in a good way of course!)”. Since then, he’s become a core part of the team, bringing both legal expertise and a touch of theatrical flair to the mix.
As our General Legal Counsel, Charlie oversees all legal, contractual, and risk matters across the business. He also leads our newly formed Commercial team, supporting procurement and contract management. It’s a busy remit, but as Charlie says, “I have a great team!”
We asked Charlie a few other questions as part of our People of EO series:
🔍What excites you most about your work?
“Working in a fast-growing business within a new and innovative sector is incredibly rewarding. We’re constantly developing solutions that are new to the market, and being part of that - both as a lawyer and commercially - is what makes this job so exciting.”
🎬What are your passions outside work?
”Before being a lawyer, I was an actor and try to stay involved in theatre when time permits, primarily as a director these days! I also try to find time to tend the garden, restore an ancient Thames barge and spend time with my wonderful family!”
