Branded by Amelia Sordell

This week I am joined by Charlie Jardine - the Founder of EO Charging, who power some of the world’s largest businesses and fleet operators.
In this episode, Charlie shares his reasons for starting EO Charging, the second stage of starting a business, work-life balance as an entrepreneur, and the importance of knowing what you bring to your own business.
I've been following Charlie for a while and it was great to finally sit down with him, hopefully, we can record another, longer episode in the future as there's loads more that I would love to discuss with him!
