This project was delivered in a previous role as an Executive Assistant. It’s included here to give you a sense of the scale and complexity of work I’m experienced in bringing to Simply Supported clients.


Following lockdown, the organisation wanted to reunite 350 colleagues with an in-person event that felt uplifting, inclusive and memorable. With a venue secured and an external events agency in place, the internal project team — including me — was responsible for shaping the brief, guiding the creative direction and ensuring delivery within budget.

Collaborative Project Support

  • Worked as part of the internal project team to coordinate planning, timelines and decision-making.
  • Acted as a key point of contact between leadership, stakeholders and the external events agency.
  • Contributed ideas and feedback to shape the festival theme and attendee experience.
  • Ensured plans remained aligned with budget, objectives and organisational requirements

Event Planning and Logistics

  • Assisted with reviewing proposals, supplier options and costings provided by the events agency.
  • Supported communication, approvals and updates across multiple internal teams.
  • Helped develop logistical elements including site layout, activities, catering arrangements and event flow.

On The Day Coordination

  • Provided hands-on support throughout the event to keep everything running smoothly.
  • Helped manage timings, suppliers and attendee needs as the day unfolded.
  • Worked closely with the events agency to handle last-minute adjustments and ensure a seamless experience.
  • A successful, well-attended Summer Festival for 350 staff
  • A positive and energising post-lockdown experience
  • Strong collaboration between the organisation and the external events company
  • An event that met the brief, ran smoothly and stayed within budget
  • Excellent feedback from both attendees and leadership

Sometimes the best measure of a successful event is that nobody noticed all the work that went into it.
