Proudest moment of your event career so far:
This has to be Event and Site Managing on The Help For Heroes Concert at Twickenham Stadium in 2010 raising money for Headley Court. Apart from working at such an iconic venue and seeing so many amazing artists and comedians on stage, it was an absolute privilege to be part of such an amazing cause and really was the best moment in my career.
Favourite event you’ve worked on:
Creamfields was, without doubt, was my favourite festival to work on. So crazy and what a long hard slog each year, but so worth it to see everyone having such a fantastic time.
