Janet Pamment
It’s such an honour to be part of this incredible organisation, which is held in such high regard by everyone. I feel very lucky to be offered the chance to volunteer for the Trustee Board and to bring my own background to help wherever I can.
Janet had a long and varied career in the private sector spanning the oil, drinks and electricity industries. Following her sponsorship by BP through higher education, she worked for that company in a wide variety of roles from refinery economics & logistics, North Sea Gas contract negotiation, internal communications & culture change and competitor analysis, as well as being European Bitumen manager in Belgium for three years.
After moving sectors to consumer goods, she worked for Seagram for four years as Organisation Capability Director, before experiencing and participating in Diageo’s buyout of that company. She then worked for Diageo for 10 years, all within HR, including global functions, European and organisational development director roles. Janet’s final corporate move was into a different sector again, holding the position of Chief People Officer at EDF Energy for seven years, before retiring at the end of 2018.
Between 2017 and 2025, she was a member of the Trustee Board of the Canal & River Trust, where she also sat on the Infrastructure and Appointments committees and chaired the Remco.
During the past six years, she has also been on the board of the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospital Trust, and then later moved to become a non-executive adviser to the Heart Lung and Critical Care group within Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Hospital Trust.
