Penny joined Gatehouse in July 2025 as Executive Assistant to the CEO.
Penny brings a wide variety of work experience having started her career as a graduate working at Mirror Group Newspapers followed by several years working in account service in busy marketing agencies in London and Sydney. When she left work to have children, she founded a partnership business — an online retail store selling sheepskin and wool products for babies which ran for 12 years and is proud to see it still thriving under new ownership.
During the Covid pandemic Penny worked as a wellbeing mentor in a large sixth form college in Surrey, which she found both challenging and rewarding.
Her most recent role was at The Children’s Trust, a charity in Tadworth which provides rehabilitation for children with acquired brain injury where she was working as a Business Development and Marketing Manager.
Penny enjoys ‘The Great Outdoors’ especially hiking, as well as travelling and listening to good music.
