I’m not sure I can quite believe it but the schedule doesn’t lie and we delivered 270 performance slots in two days plus half a dozen interactive areas at this year’s Epsom Derby. A massive 140+ of us on site across build and event days and every single person played their part in giving race goers a truly incredible experience.

Very proud, very grateful. 2023’s Derby will be one that sticks in the memory for a long time.

Grand National number 8 is officially complete. Immensely proud of everyone involved in what we delivered. Very lucky to have such an exceptional team around me!

Clients, colleagues and suppliers will recognise the wonderful Holly from the time she has spent on site with me over the years and I couldn’t be happier that she is now joining the team on an ongoing basis!

Working with Hol is always a joy and I am thrilled that she’ll be helping to deliver a brilliant 2023.

May catering be well stocked and Santa right on schedule.

Merry Christmas to all colleagues, clients, suppliers and friends!

Tell me if this sounds familiar… ambitions for 2023 are bigger than ever, after events world returned with a bang in 2022. But budgets are tighter because there’s anxiety around whether people will continue to be able to spend money on days and nights out. AND everything is costing more.

Check out what I have to say on The Squeeze that’s coming in for 2023 on my latest blog post:

For a few years now, I’ve opted not to send Christmas cards and instead to make a donation to a charity or non-profit that I care about.

This year, the end of my first full year as part of Team NOWIE - The Network of Women in Events, it was an easy choice.

I’m so proud of what we’re achieving and so happy to be part of this glorious gang.

Merry Christmas all! 🎄

It was inevitable I’d end up putting my money where my mouth was on this! Really happy to be a mentor in NOWIE - The Network of Women in Events’s inaugural Level Up mentorship scheme. Can’t wait to get started in the New Year!

16/07/2022

Being part of the team at NOWIE just gets better and better. We’re all super committed to making the industry fairer, safer and generally better for the women working in it.

If you’re a woman working in events and you’re not already part of our gang, why not?!

From a very hot and sticky site office, I'm really happy to see this work with Whitehaven Alive going public - can't wait to see Scouting For Girls and Chris Moyles doing their thing in September!

05/06/2022

It’s been three years since the last full scale Derby and the Platinum Jubilee gave us all the perfect opportunity to come back with a bang. It’s been a truly incredible weekend at Epsom Downs Racecourse - there is nowhere I’d rather have spent this once-in-a-lifetime bank holiday weekend.

Sending powering-through vibes to all those up to their eyes in crazy numbers of emails, endless spreadsheets and no time to sleep. Hands up who has missed the madness of a summer season 🙋🏼‍♀️

🥳🥳 ACCEPT IS 10!! 🥳🥳

Today is Accept’s 10th birthday…. And what a decade it has been! This video would be hours long to fit everything in so here are just a few highlights from the past ten years.

Here’s to decade number 2… 🍾🍾

It’s been such a treat to be back at Aintree Racecourse this week. As ever, I’m insanely grateful to my whole team, suppliers, entertainers and of course the racecourse. Same time next year!?

08/04/2022

How much have we missed this?! Aintree Racecourse

28/03/2022

March has absolutely flown by… but it was great to kickstart the month participating in this discussion on the role of fanzones at sports events at the Event Production Show.

And speaking of sporting events… this time next week will be on the way to Aintree Racecourse for the Grand National!

04/03/2022

Looking forward to kicking off 2022’s events with this tomorrow!

2022 sees Accept turning 10. I can’t believe it!!

I have everything crossed for a “normal” year that will allow me to celebrate throughout the next twelve months but I’ve kicked things off with these lovely treat boxes that have been landing on the desks and doormats of people who’ve been part of the story so far. Without each of them (and many others!), the past ten years would not have happened.

So who’s with me for the journey into decade number two??!

23/12/2021

Really thrilled to have joined the committee for Network of Women in Events. We have a whole heap planned for 2021, so if you’re a fellow woman working in the industry and you’re not already a member of NOWIE then you should join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nowie/

Who’s the genius who planned a load out for Christmas Eve? 🙋🏼‍♀️

So the break hasn’t started just yet, but as things wind down for Christmas, I wanted to wish you all a happy and healthy break. Ho ho ho; don’t forget to lateral flow!

14/12/2021

Events at home are always great and this light installation at Newark Castle is no exception! Two weeks of feeling festive for everyone who gets to enjoy it in this beautiful space.

13/12/2021

There's still a stack of work to do before the Christmas break but I'm slowly starting to tick off jobs from the pre-Christmas to-do list. Today, my in-lieu-of-Christmas-cards donation, this year going to Shout.

To clients and colleagues, wishing you a very Merry Christmas. And if it's not so jolly, for whatever reason, remember that you can text Shout to 85258, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (yes, event Christmas day) and feel supported.

This autumn couldn’t be more different to autumn 2020 if it tried! It’s great to see things picking up again but wow, things are flat out. Current state of affairs: never far from my phone and laptop, and permanently scribbling in a never ending to-do list!

How we all doing, event folks? It’s going to be a hectic run in to Christmas!

30/08/2021

Fabulous weekend on site for my first post-restrictions festival… and what a weekend it was. Food demo stage?! Yes please and thank you! Bank holiday weekend? Done!

18 months on from launching Palace Theatre Newark’s centenary celebrations, last night we were finally able to open the exhibition part of the hundredth year. After so long dark, every opportunity for this stage to be used feels like such a treat!
