About me
Katie’s expertise in project and event management derives from her ten years experience in the hospitality sector. With over half of this dedicated to the luxury market, Katie has an acute understanding of the demands of VIP clients and how to plan and execute a seamless, professional event. Key skills include leadership, training, organisation, negotiation, budgeting, operation management and communications. Katie thrives on the demands of managing people and projects, and applies herself with dedication to each and every project, working tirelessly to achieve the perfect event for her clients. In addition to her professional life, Katie is focused on developing both her educational and business acumen. She is currently in her last year of a six-year Open University course, reading for a degree in Criminology and Psychology BA (Hons). The last two modules, which should be unrelated to the degree subject, will cover finance and entrepreneurial opportunities. Katie enjoys the opportunities that learning and extra-curricular study have to offer. As such, she has embraced the opportunity to undertake courses in music, journalism and interior design. Katie intends to apply her portfolio of skills to her next venture - executing corporate and social engagements, and delivering events training, as a freelance events consultant.

Work history
    Founder
     - 
    Katie has personally managed an extensive range of B2B and B2C events, from press conferences to seminars, gala dinners to hospitality lounges, sponsorships to product launches. Having recently taken the leap to become a freelancer, Katie is keen to apply her knowledge and skills to new challenges, and welcomes all jobs big and small. Able to work remotely or at a location to suit you, Katie's experience will ensure your event runs without a hitch - and without breaking the bank. Katie also offers training in all aspects of events, from budgeting to defining the event concept, to sponsorship management and venue sourcing. This is particularly useful for those who want to promote their own business, or for office managers and PAs who may lack the events experience required of them. Through positive learner engagement and aligning material with your business, she can administer training that will instil company standards and operational knowledge in you or your staff, to produce effective business results.
