About me

As an Event Manager and Producer I have created, orchestrated and managed a variety of events from intimate projects to complex productions. I realise visions for the client adding a creative edge to their core brief. I’ve sourced and located a diverse range of venues for different events from small intimate museums to arena size spaces. I’ve dealt with and worked alongside many different types of contractors from the tendering process to the final delivery of the event. I’ve created new partnerships with funders, charities and government departments to raise the profile and increase funding for projects. I am adept at managing both artistic and technical teams with a strong understanding of their requirements and priorities. I am experienced in all aspects of event production including creating and managing budgets of up to £500K, booking artists and resources, stage-managing, plus all aspects of health and safety. My skills are broad and varied, and I am in a unique position of having a vast experience of both broadcast and live events, I’m adaptable to any given circumstance. I am equally comfortable researching, creating and managing a large-scale event at The Royal Albert Hall as I am at dealing with the levels of protocol and security required to put on an intimate event at the Houses of Parliament or a guest appearance from HRH Prince Charles.
