I am an award winning marketing communications specialist with a proven track record in business start up's, project and event management. I have extensive experience in both private and public sectors with clients in education, healthcare, NHS, FMCG, financial, legal, professional services, ICT, tourism and leisure. For the past 22 years I owned and managed a leading award winning event management company, In Any Event UK, which I sold in April 2012. I am now freelance and work flexible hours to fit in with your requirements - I make things happen and can assist you and your organisation in delivering successful outcomes for your projects by providing expertise in the following areas: Project planning, budgetary control, raising finance, producing and implementing marcom strategies, event management, chairing and facilitating meetings, driving initiatives, providing solutions, as well as ensuring your projects are well organised and meet your objectives. Whether it's a few hours, few days or longer I believe I can make a real difference. Going freelance also given me the chance to have a go at radio presenting. I am currently reviewing the newspapers on BBC Radio Bristol on Monday mornings. I am very enthusiastic, motivated, driven and focused on ensuring projects I work on are a huge success.
