If you are after a measured, calm and a person who takes pride in delivering with the utmost attention to detail then please contact me. Having worked 13 years in the corporate agency world overseeing medium to large events, in 2019 I took the plunge of being independent.
Since being freelance, I have delivered numerous high end B2C events, such as an 80's Back to the 80's Concert in Bali, managing a large team of staff & 5 iconic artists including Marc Almond & Belinda Carlisle.

I am happy to send examples of my work to any prospective customers. I also have a website with a few testimonials and previous work: http://*****.**
