Freelance Event Management & Operations

Experienced operational support when you need extra capacity. Sometimes you don't need a review, you need another experienced pair of hands who can step in, hold the detail and get the event delivered. That's where more than twenty years of operations experience earns its keep.

How I Support You

Capable hands across the whole operation

I can take on a defined slice of the work or hold the operational picture end to end, whatever the gap is, I'm comfortable owning it.

01

Event Planning

Building the plan, the timeline and the detail that turns an idea into something deliverable.

02

Event Delivery

On-the-ground delivery and coordination, keeping the moving parts aligned through to the finish.

03

Stakeholder Management

Keeping partners, sponsors, authorities and internal teams informed, aligned and onside.

04

Supplier Management

Sourcing, briefing and managing suppliers and contractors so they deliver what was promised.

05

Operational Readiness

Making sure that when the day arrives, every plan, person and contingency is actually in place.

06

Risk Management

Identifying what could go wrong, planning for it, and keeping safety and compliance front of mind.

Typical Projects

The kinds of brief I step into

Engagements range from a few intense days to longer-term cover. If your team's stretched, growing or in need of a key person, there's usually a way I can help.

Operational support
Extra capacity through a busy period or a demanding stretch of delivery.
Event launches
Helping get a brand-new event off the ground and through its first edition.
Event growth projects
Scaling an established event up without the operation buckling under it.
Short-term contracts
Defined, time-boxed pieces of work with a clear outcome and end point.
Delivery support
Hands-on help in the run-up to and during the event itself.
Maternity cover
Stepping into a key operational role so delivery never loses momentum.
Why It Works

Experience that slots in, not a consultant who slows you down

I've run complex events and operations across government, healthcare and technology, from Stonehenge Summer Solstice to national resilience exercises and multi-agency coordination. I'm used to high-stakes environments where the plan has to hold and there's no second chance at the day.

That means I can pick things up quickly, work the way your team already works, and add capacity without adding overhead. No long ramp-up, no jargon, no rebuilding your processes, just an experienced operator getting on with it.
