CharlieHR

Rob O’Donovan, founded ‘start-up studio’ The Eleven at age 17, alongside his best friend from school. From then on, his love affair with creating companies grew, turning the business into a small network of marketing agencies that empowered brands to make sense of a new, digitally savvy and ultra-demanding generation of consumers. The same team went on to establish HR software CharlieHR, to help provide other small businesses with more time to bring their ideas to life. Backed by several million pounds in venture capital funding, they believe, passionately, that the small companies of today will solve the big problems of tomorrow.
