Jess Noakes
Senior Projects Manager
First Gig:
Spice Girls at Wembley Stadium in 1998 (after Geri had left but it was still the most exciting thing I'd ever been to and cemented my dream of working in live entertainment).
Proudest moment of your event career so far:
At the London 2012 opening ceremony, carrying the GB petal to the cauldron (substage so you wouldn't have seen me!) where it was the final petal fitted to Thomas Heatherwick's cauldron before it was revealed to the world!
Favourite event you’ve worked on:
Mighty Hoopla is the best music festival EVER. The joy, love and inclusivity inside the event site is unrivalled and I am proud to have played my part creating that.
