Events · Marketing · Engagement
A senior marketing and events professional who turns strategic thinking into high-impact delivery - from seven-thousand square metre exhibition stands to integrated campaigns that move the needle commercially.
About
I'm an Events, Marketing and Engagement professional with a proven track record across the Leisure, Energy, Shipping and Manufacturing sectors. Based in Hull and operating nationally, I've built my career at the Rix Group - one of the UK's most diversified family-owned businesses - progressing from Marketing Assistant to Customer Engagement Lead in under four years.
My work sits at the intersection of commercial growth and brand storytelling. Whether I'm leading a major industry exhibition, developing new dealer relationships from scratch, or building an integrated campaign across digital and print, I bring the same level of precision, creativity and ownership to every project.
I thrive in environments where no two days are the same - and where the quality of your relationships determines the quality of your results.

Areas of Expertise
Experienced in managing the full lifecycle of major industry exhibitions - from initial brief and budget management through to on-site execution and post-event reporting. Comfortable operating across multiple events simultaneously without compromising quality.
A background in direct sales means I understand the commercial context behind every marketing decision. I've sold 18 holiday homes in a challenging territory, generated 500+ leads in a single event, and forged dealer partnerships where others had failed.
Skilled across digital and traditional channels - from email automation and social media scheduling to print production, brochures and brand video. I bring cohesion to multi-channel campaigns and take pride in the consistency of brand voice and visual identity.
Trusted by senior leadership across the Rix Group as a strategic adviser on brand, engagement and events. I manage key accounts exceeding £300k and build long-term relationships with dealers, suppliers and partners grounded in mutual value.
Contact
I'm always open to conversations about interesting opportunities - whether that's a senior marketing or events role, a consultancy project, or simply a coffee and a chat about the industry.
