The Raccoons

Chief Amazement Officer

A few years ago, after more than a decade having a great time working in the events industry, it struck me and my amazing colleagues that there was room for an events management agency that was just a little different. We felt that by ‘playing too safe’ some great creativity and fun was being lost in the process, so decided to be resolutely ourselves and bring the full scope of our personalities to our new business.

We have never looked back. Every day is an opportunity to have fun, be unique, come up with really imaginative ideas and solutions. We chose our name because raccoons are inquisitive, tenacious and problem-solving creatures. These attributes, plus loyalty, fun and going the extra mile are what we bring to the party.

What I love about my job is that no two clients are the same and no two days work are either. We could be running a big staff conference or organising a very special reward package for an outstanding employee. What’s great is we never know. Each event is unique which is what gets us out of bed in the morning and raring to go.

Personally, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside, and for, so many inspiring people. I’ve worked with the very best, from managers who’ve taught me the ropes, to inspiring speakers at award ceremonies who’ve kindly shared their wisdom.

My business philosophy is based on what someone wise once said: "Learn as much as you can, and share everything you know."
