What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior events role combining end-to-end production and growth-focused marketing in a collaborative, client-focused organisation where I can scale attendance and deliver high-quality, revenue-driving events.

I am an experienced Events Producer and Growth Marketing Specialist based in the South West of England, with a Master’s degree in Creative Events Management and a proven track record delivering conferences, workshops, awards, and corporate events across the UK, Europe, the United States and Australia. I specialise in end-to-end event delivery, stakeholder coordination, marketing-driven attendance growth and creating exceptional delegate experiences, having driven event attendance increases of over 150% during a recent role.

My background includes managing large B2B international conferences, high-volume event programmes (250+ events annually), venue sourcing, AV and logistics, speaker recruitment, sponsor integration, marketing campaigns, and on-site delivery. I combine commercial awareness with hands-on operational expertise to produce memorable, revenue-driving events and strong client relationships.
