Our leadership team

Hugh Chatfield — Director of Growth

Hugh leads our Growth, Data and Operations team. When out of work, Hugh spends as much time as possible running in the mountains, claiming that fell running, ultra-running marathon running and trail running are actually very different sports and worrying that he doesn’t have the right shoes.
