Our People

Carol Munton, Director of People and Culture


Whilst studying Business, I decided that I was much better with people than with figures and specialised in Human Resources Management.

On graduating, I became an HR management trainee with the Co-operative and trained in Recruitment, Welfare and Retirement, HR systems, Employee Relations and Employee Development.

“I feel very privileged to work here and am proud to work for such a special organisation and with such a special team of staff and volunteers.”

Carol Munton, Director of People and Culture

In my early career I specialised in the “softer” side of HR but later was appointed as an Employment Tribunal member and gained experience in the technical and legalistic aspects, a role that I still enjoy today.

The Co-op enabled me to work in diverse business activities such as retail, logistics, banking, catering, pharmacy and funerals to name but a few! Over the years I worked my way up to be the Regional HR Operations Manager. I left after 25 years to help care for my Dad, returned as a field HR Manager and then, in 2008, retired to care for my Mum.

Once arrangements were in place for Mum, it soon became clear that retirement and day time television is not for me and I was lucky enough to be offered a position at Treetops in 2013.

In 2016 I was appointed HR Manager and assumed responsibility for Volunteer Services as well as Employee matters.

I feel very privileged to work here and am proud to work for such a special organisation and with such a special team of staff and volunteers.
