The Raccoons
Raccoons are well known for being 'loyal', 'fun', 'trusted' and 'unique'.
Like us, they are persistent and never give up!

"Learn as much as you can, and share everything you know."
A few years ago, after more than a decade having a great time working in the events industry, it struck me that there was room for an events management agency that was just a little different.
Every day is an opportunity to have fun, be unique, come up with really imaginative ideas and solutions. I chose our name because raccoons are inquisitive, tenacious and problem-solving creatures. These attributes are what we bring to the party.
What I love about my job is that each event & all of our clients are totally unique & that gets us out of bed in the morning and raring to go.
I’ve been fortunate to work alongside so many inspiring people & I’m honoured to be doing the same thing while running my own agency.

“Make today so awesome, yesterday gets jealous”
I remember, in my first “real job” I saw a group of colleagues always swanning in and out of the office with their wheelie bags, and I said, to my then boss, “why are they always in and out of the office”, she replied “that’s the Events Team” and told me all about Events. I wanted in!
Since then, I have been fortunate to work with some wonderful people across a range of roles, worked on some brilliant events and seen some amazing place.
Throughout my career, I still get the same comment: “you’re always smiling” whilst I prance around with my clipboard.
My passion in life is people and travel, and I get both with my job!
In my personal time - I have a 97 year old friend, who I take shopping on a weekly basis. I met him through Age UK in 2020 and we’ve been great friends ever since. He thoroughly enjoys my IT for 90+ year old lessons…!
I saw a quote the other day – “make today so awesome, yesterday gets jealous” – I love that, and very much sums me up, living for the now and making each day count!

Experience Alchemist
"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
At 31, I've already had the pleasure of calling three continents home, soaking in experiences from around the globe. But you know what? My heart has always been set on one thing: creating unforgettable events.
With my easygoing vibe and straight-up honesty, I'm all about crafting business gatherings that leave a mark. When I'm not busy making magic happen, you'll catch me hitting up 7am hot yoga sessions, drinking proper English tea on the sofa with my very best-friend, Troy, my partner as well as my darling Stormy the cat, or singing some Taylor Swift tunes (yes, I'm a Swiftie)."Oh, and let's not forget about my undeniable addiction to anything chocolate.
So, buckle up, and get ready for some serious event awesomeness. We are about to make some memories!

"Always remember to drink water, get some sunlight, we are basically house plants with more complicated emotions”
I love events and I love the planet! I've had the privilege of spending the past 10 years of my career creating some truly incredible events all over the world, and I've made a lifetime of memories along the way (after a glass of wine, you may get a story or four).
In my spare time, you can find me with my head in a book, studying for my Ecology & Environmental Science Degree, out hiking, or breathing in nature with my little four-legged friend in the garden.
My passion is creating unique experiences that are sustainability-conscious and honest, the type that gets you thinking about what to do next year to top it!
