High-Quality Event Management in Sports & Recreation

As an experienced Events Manager, I specialize in delivering high-quality sports and recreational events utilizing university facilities. With a career spanning from 1995 to 2008, I have worked with notable organizations including Yeovil Town FC and the FA U18s. My portfolio encompasses the organization of major events such as the World Modern Pentathlon Championships 2002. My skills include communication, organization, crisis management, and budget management, supported by a dedicated team to achieve a £500,000 target turnover. I believe in transforming obstacles into opportunities.
