Claire Trotman
"I used to be a fitness instructor and taught Zumba classes for 3+ years. In my mid-twenties, I quit my ‘proper’ job and spent the summer in Greece teaching fitness classes on a beach resort, and this is where I met my husband, James. I’m a big believer in things happening for a reason!"
Claire supports Blue Gnu with everything marketing and behind‑the‑scenes operations — from business development, event management and workshop logistics to creative promotion and delivery. With a creative eye and a practical, “can‑do” attitude, her background in events management and planning helps keep things organised and flowing, even when last‑minute requests come in. Her experience also includes delivering Insights Discovery workshops, combining her insights skills with her passion for helping teams and individuals grow.
