About Me:

I inherited the skill of being an Event Manager from my mother, who loved throwing parties and entertaining guests. As a professional Event Manager, I began my career as a Compere and live presenter for charity fetes and summer carnivals, working with various performers and exhibitors across the country. This experience taught me to think on my feet and manage unexpected situations that could occur during live events.

With a strong network of contacts, I founded Wessex Events to organize events ranging from Corporate Fun days to Parties and Hospitality. As an experienced Event Manager, I have successfully organized events for many major companies and international organizations, specializing in fun events such as Parties, Family days, Its knockout, Opening Days, Parties, and business anniversary events.

Besides, I’m skilled in organizing events such as team building days, conference work, clients networking events, business away days, and private parties. I keep up with the latest festival trends and support young talents and businesses while never shying away from new ideas.

On a personal note, I love adventure sports like kayaking, rock climbing, camping, and hill walking. My travels across the UK, Europe, Canada, US, and New Zealand have given me unique experiences like skiing down mountains, traveling on dog sleds, and floating in hot air balloons.

I began my professional events career as a Compere and live presenter for charity fetes and summer Carnivals.  I worked with everything from Dancing Diggers to Sheepdog demonstrations.  In that time I toured all around the country and began to meet a whole host of weird and wonderful events people who earn a living by juggling chainsaws, flying falcons, or jumping through fire hoops!

Live events taught me to think on my feet and keep the show on track even when a flock of sheep has just gone through the centre of the tea marquee!

I naturally built up a great network of amazing contacts;   So Wessex Events was born using my skills and knowledge to put on events Corporate Fun days Parties and Hospitality.

Event Manager:

In my time as an Event Manager, I have staged events for many major companies and international companies, focusing mostly on the fun side of the events business: Parties, Family days, Its knockout, Opening Days, Parties, and business anniversary events.

But I am equally at home with:

  • Team building days,
  • Conference work

  • Business away days
  • Private parties and Events

I am a creative Event Manager and enjoy what I do and I have a great team of contacts and keep up to date with the latest festival trends and bring on and support young talent and businesses and never afraid of new ideas.

Personally, I enjoy kayaking, rock climbing, adventure travel, camping, hill and mountain walking and have travelled across the UK, Europe and Canada US and New Zealand.  I have skied down mountains, traveled on Dog Sleds, floated in hot air balloons, flown in gliders, and a host of other crazy stuff.
