Charles Davis, director of fundraising and
communications
Ben – the automotive industry charity.
What are the main aspects of your job?
Business development, raising national awareness of Ben and team building. Are you using your previous experience gained at RoSPA in your new role?
Yes, there are many similarities as there is great synergy between business development and fundraising. What are you working on at the moment?
Creating a three-year business plan which will allow for significant growth in our fundraising. Is the new role what you imagined it would be?
Absolutely. I came into this role with my eyes wide open and it is exactly as I expected it would be. What are your priorities?
To ensure we hit budget and maintain it while creating a small surplus. We need to make up our £500,000 deficit from our previous financial year. Do you find it easy to relax after work?
Yes and no. When I get home at the end of the day my children normally demand my attention and then, before I know it, it’s time for bed, or another email.
