Hi, I’m Karen, a freelance event manager based in the Midlands. Think of me as your dedicated event manager. I can fit seamlessly into your team as your events expert or I can work independently and bring on board my own team as needed for complex or large-scale events.

I am a passionate believer in building effective relationships, preparation, creative-thinking, and teamwork. I always work closely with my clients to deliver outstanding events.

Event Logistics
Logistics is all about the finer details of the event, it is about processing all the available information and putting it down in a cohesive manner. This can be an overwhelming and endless task. This is where I thrive…
I will work with the venue, your suppliers, and your stakeholders to gather and collate all the information to produce a succinct plan to deliver a successful event.
Stakeholder Management
Do you have time to manage all your stakeholders? I can build strong effective relationships with your suppliers, colleagues and stakeholders to ensure information is shared, questions are answered and all relevant parties are included in the event.
Building effective relationships is something I have always excelled at; people are the reason why I wanted to get into the events industry. The key to a successful event is having a strong team of suppliers behind you.
Delegate Management
People are at the heart of every event, whether this is educating, networking, communicating. Everything about an event is geared towards the delegate.
I believe as an events professional you should be able to look at the event from the perspective of the delegate, then know you have the delegate at the forefront of the event then.
Event Marketing
Need help promoting your event? I will coordinate my associate suppliers to create all the marketing materials you need to publicise your event, such as an event website and event collateral (including leaflets, brochures, posters).
Together we will ensure they are aligned to your branding and have a clear message that gets your guest list filling up fast.
I can help you harness the power of social media too for your event by managing the event presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.
Operational Logistics
The nitty gritty of an event. Once the plan is in place, the next stage is executing and co-ordinating all the elements. As a client, you can sit back and enjoy the occasion, and I will make sure every part of the event is delivered in a calm and organised manner.
