About me
I studied International Events Management for three years at Brighton University. Whilst I was studying I learnt about some of the greatest events from Woodstock to the Olympics and began hosting my own music events around the UK. I graduated University with a degree and a wealth of knowledge surrounding the industry. After University I decided to take my event management skills to the other side of the world and spent three years travelling Australia and South East Asia. I successfully started and managed a weekly festival on a small island in Cambodia, where my logistics skills were put to the test. I am known by my fellow business partners as the king of logistics and for my ability to plan amazing events. So after returning back to the UK I was on the hunt to find a company with a strong ethos that I could use my knowledge and help organise some impactful events. I joined Flex Events at the start of 2020 and hope to help the company grow to the next level of success.
