Overview

Highly motivated, creative, strategic events professional available for freelancing or consultancy work.



DIRECTOR LEVEL EVENTS PROFESSIONAL

I have over 25 years experience of international event management with an emphasis on events in the pharmaceutical, association, retail, finance, IT, legal, government and automotive sectors.



Developed and implemented worldwide events predominantly, but not exclusively, in Europe, Africa and North America.



Responsibility for executing events for 10 to 3000 attendees including ride and drive programmes, press launches, trade shows, conferences, incentives, product launches, factory openings, award ceremonies and VIP events.



Previously, as an agency director, I headed up a team of 15 events professionals (permanent staff and freelancers, depending on the nature of the project) and worked closely with key clients and project stakeholders across all levels of their organisation. As a result of this, I enjoy engaging with clients and colleagues to deliver highly effective and memorable events.



Recently, as an independent freelancer, my roles have varied from full project management to onsite support, proposal writing and venue-finding.
