I've been working in events and exhibitions for longer than I care to remember (over 20 years now). Like many, I didn't know the industry existed until I kind of fell into it, and I have been doing my thing here ever since.

​

I started in the UK, and then 8 years ago I made the move to Dubai to work for Projex Event services. Unfortunately the recent COVID-19 events brought an end to that role so here I am back in the market looking for the next opportunity.

​

My core skills are in project mgt. but I am not satisfied in just following a set of plans and sorting out the production. I love working with design teams and giving my creative input. I'm an R&D man, give me a concept, and I'll work out how we can build it. My favourite projects that I have recently worked on have been on the Museum of the Future exhibitions, and the recent work that I have done with Hermes. In both instances, I have had to develop new build techniques, introduce new materials to the workshop, and work with some great design teams who are not interested in "the ordinary".

​

Over the past few years, I have been moving away from exhibitions stands, and working more in the events and permanent installations / museum sector, which for me has allowed a greater sense of job satisfaction. Events, because they are fast moving, more fluid projects, where I feel I have a greater opportunity to use my skills to make a positive impact, and permanent work, which tends to involve a more rigorous and technical pre-production phase and comes with a sense of legacy.

​

I am well used to running a team of other PM's, putting multi-disciplinary teams together to tackle a project, and fitting in seamlessly with any team put together by the client. I am looking for full time employment, but in the meantime am happy to take on any freelance roles available.

​

As for me, I'm married to a wonderful wife, and am the father to a delightful 4 year old daughter. In my spare time I cook, attempt to paint, bake bread, and potter around in the vegetable garden. I love to travel, don't read as much I would like, and have a degree in Ancient History. Please get in touch if you would like a chat about how we can work together.
