I have worked in the Events Industry for over 20 years now, which makes me sound really old but honestly I’m not. Since then I have organised various different events all over the world, got married and have had two children and also own a fluffy pooch called Max. The skill set you develop planning events is so varied. Not only do you need to be super efficient and very organised, you need great communication skills, all qualities you can transfer across to another job. When my priorities shifted to my family so did my work focus and therefore I decided to go it alone and find work that fitted around my life not the other way around.

And this is how I ended up working for the Sustainable Wedding Alliance. Me and Michelle met all those many moons ago in the events world and shared our love of organising and when Michelle needed support organising everything behind the scenes, I was able to help her so that she can get on and do her amazing job as the Founder.

We made a GREAT team back then and we still do now and I have THE best job as the Community Manager, as I get to work with incredible businesses everyday, all of whom are passionate about doing their bit for the planet.
