Allie Egginton

Growing up living in warmer climes from a very young age, I felt more comfortable in the water than on land. My passion for all sport, particularly swimming, grew throughout my childhood culminating in becoming County Junior freestyle champion in 1984.

My next aim was to beat the long-standing school record and I spent time every day in the pool, pushing myself. I missed the record by 0.2 of a second but I felt ok. I had done the best I could do in the time I had, with the support of many… and we never gave up! That motivation has continued to drive me through almost 30 years in my working life. I am competitive, yes, but appreciate it takes a whole team working together to achieve great things.

With a background in Operations, I am always challenging whether there is ‘a better way’ do something, creating or adapting tasks to make them as streamlined and simple as possible for myself and others, whether that’s the team, clients or suppliers, so everyone gains more time to work on the areas that matter most to them. 

I feel so passionately about individual and team development, an area I have worked in throughout my working life. Joining CI feeds that passion and enables me to continue as part of something that enriches peoples’ lives.
