About Winnow

Winnow was founded by Prue and Carol - two colleagues-turned-friends with a shared appreciation of honest conversation, insightful questions and impactful solutions. We love helping businesses tell their stories in a way that resonates with clients, shareholders and employees. There's no one-size-fits-all approach with Winnow. We will take the time to truly understand your business, your values, your culture - your 'why' as well as your what and how. We're jargon-free, straight-talking, results-focused (and, apparently, hyphen-loving!) and we are looking forward to working with you.

Prue Thompson

Prue is Australian by birth, but her career has taken her far beyond home. With over 20 years' experience curating world-class experiences and leading brand, marketing and communications strategy, she has worked across sport, entertainment, luxury and financial services on some of the world's most prestigious stages — from the Olympic and Commonwealth Games to Formula 1, the Venice Biennale and global luxury brands.

What sets Prue apart is a rare combination: the instinct to create extraordinary moments for the world's most discerning audiences, and the strategic and commercial capability to build the brand and marketing programmes that surround them.

When she's not working, Prue can be found at her cottage in the Cotswolds, enjoying the countryside or the local pub just steps from her front door. A lifelong sports enthusiast and avid jewellery collector, she is rarely without a book — currently working her way through the history of one of the world's great luxury Maisons.

Carol Lambden

Carol has almost 25 years' experience in marketing and communications roles. Most recently she was Head of Communications for a global financial services firm, leading teams and all aspects of corporate communications for businesses in the UK, Channel Islands, Canada, Asia and Hong Kong.

During her varied career, Carol has managed communications for large-scale change programmes, M&A activity, reputational issues and crises, corporate rebrands, financial reporting, employee engagement activity, diversity and inclusion initiatives and pretty much anything else you can think of.

Carol lives in Hertfordshire and is no longer allowed to follow any animal rescue charities on social media, having recently adopted two rescue dogs in the space of four months, because the cat and the teenager were apparently not demanding enough!
