Having gained a degree in Psychology (a subject that has come in more useful than you’d think in this industry!), I bought a round-the-world ticket and lived and worked abroad for a year before moving to London. After a brief stint in recruitment, I joined Brand Events in the June 2002. I started out working on both The Vitality Show and The Outdoors Show but as soon as Taste of London was launched I knew that was the event for me. Top London restaurants and delicious food & wine all brought together in the (hopefully sunny!) Regent's Park - in my opinion the perfect event! Working now as Event Director for Taste of London has brought me some of my most stressful but also most proud moments at Brand Events and I can't wait for the 2009 Festival which is going to be the best yet.
Outside of work I enjoy eating out (of course), making the most of my holiday allowance by exploring new countries (I still have the travel bug) and catching up with friends. This year my time is also going to be taken up with organising a second event – my wedding!
