About me
I’m a confident, determined Events Executive who has a positive attitude and takes to new challenges with enthusiasm. I strive to combine my creativity and passion for events to produce focal points that are memorable and distinctive.
I enjoy keeping up to date with the latest trends and innovating ideas to incorporate these into event plans. This creates experiences that are relevant and cherished by members, whilst adhering to brand objectives and guidelines. I coordinate each event in consideration of the guest’s experiences and always focus on personal touches to make guests feel special, whether it’s a bespoke invitation or a thoughtful room gift.
In my current role, I am involved in a range of different projects. This enables me to adapt my skills and learn within a collaborative environment by working with various teams across the business, to enhance the end experience and obtain positive feedback.
Previously to working at Gamesys, I attended Newcastle University and graduated with a degree in Mathematics. During my final year, I was elected as President of the Maths Society which gave me the opportunity to discover my passion for building events. I managed a team to create an inclusive society with frequent varying events.
In my spare time I enjoy visting galleries and producing my own art work using mixed media. Working in London has also granted me the opportunity to attend musicals and theatre shows which I have thoroughly enjoyed.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me, I’m also referred to as Lizzy Blake.
