Putting a face to the name

I started working for Brand Events in September 2009 working as Marketing Assistant for Top Gear Live. My main role is the maintenance of the website content and the social networking of Top Gear Live, as well as helping out on bits and bobs for the tour. I have always wanted to work in events as it’s a high pressure environment and you get a massive sense of achievement when it’s finished, as well as getting to see and do some pretty cool stuff.

This is my first real job since leaving Newcastle University with a degree in Livestock technology. It’s probably the most random degree which I think is highlighted in the fact that only 4 people finished it. I rarely mention this minor detail when I tell people that I graduated top of my class as I think that it would slightly take the edge off it.

My ambition is one day to fly to Cape Town, buy a car and drive it all the way through Africa, Europe and arrive back home in The Shire. The only thing that stops me is a few dodgy countries and friends that aren’t stupid enough to come with me. My other loves in the world are skiing, I think it’s the most exhilarating things that you can do, and bacon sandwiches, the most delicious start to a day and something that you will see me eating each morning at my desk.
