My first experience of the exhibition world was back in 1988 at the Which Computer? show. I was promoting a free circulation offer for Computer News magazine, we had 3 stands in 3 halls, it was manic, exhausting and exciting but I was hooked.

My big career break came when I joined the marketing team at The NEC, Birmingham. With 5 venues in the group along with numerous businesses to promote I had an exhibiting programme that kept me busy throughout the year.

Since then I have moved over to selling exhibition space instead of organising it. The event knowledge and expertise I have gained over the years have proved extremely helpful when speaking with exhibitors. My venue and logistics experience has really paid off. My clients appreciate speaking with someone who knows the ropes and can give them no nonsense advice and support.
