Events

• Coordinating and supporting high level client events from concept, kick off meeting, to post event follow up.
• Identifying, visiting and liaising with venues to book appropriate event spaces.
• Coordinating event logistics.
• On site event support.

You:

• Intelligent, organised and an excellent communicator.

• Engaging, assertive, comfortable asking questions and not afraid to challenge when necessary.
