Why events?

I always knew that I wanted to do something creative and was interested in drama, fashion and experiences. I also have an interest in business and people, and so wanted to do something that would combine these elements.

 

Describe your typical day?

I’m up by 6.45am, starting the day with some porridge, chopped bananas and a dollop of peanut butter before heading into the office for an 8.30am start. If there’s something urgent that needs doing, then I’ll do that straight away as I know my most productive part of the day is often the mornings when my mind is clear, and the office is quiet.

I’ll then spend a bit of time doing some research for ideation meetings, where we’ll come together to share creative ideas on a project or pitch. I’ll always head out for lunch, as the fresh air and scenery gives me a new perspective. I also have family who live near-by, so I’ll often meet them for a spot of lunch or a cuppa.

Once back in the office, I’ll typically spend an afternoon pulling together budgets, writing copy for proposals and sourcing elements such as entertainers and caterers for events. If there’s a live event coming up, we’ll have a production meeting where we set project milestones and deadlines. I leave the office at 6pm and head straight to the gym, or often out for dinner. I always have 1 or 2 plans in the week, usually centred around eating good food!
