\n\t\tBeckie\n\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\tChief Amazement Officer\n\t<\/h3>\n\t “Learn as much as you can, and share everything you know.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\tKelly\n\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\tSenior Event Extraordinaire\n\t<\/h3>\n\t “Make today so awesome, yesterday gets jealous”<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Throughout my career, I still get the same comment: “you’re always smiling” whilst I prance around with my clipboard.<\/p>\n
My passion in life is people and travel, and I get both with my job!<\/p>\n
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…!<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\tEstelle\n\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\tExperience Alchemist\n\t<\/h3>\n\t “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u00a07am\u00a0hot 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.<\/p>\n
So, buckle up, and get ready for some serious event awesomeness. We are about to make some memories!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\tHolly\n\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\tProject perfectionist & Captain green thumbs\n\t<\/h3>\n\t “Always remember to drink water, get some sunlight, we are basically house plants with more complicated emotions”<\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\tLou\n\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\tBusiness Development & Event Guru – APAC\n\t<\/h3>\n\t “Opportunities don’t happen, you create them”<\/p>\n
With over 20 years experience in Event Management and Business Development, my default is to go above and beyond to ensure any event runs without a hitch .<\/p>\n
I’m thoroughly organised and have a ‘can do, will do’ attitude meaning I easily build rapport with those I work with, whether it is a client, colleague or supplier.<\/p>\n
A dedicated Raccoon based in Sydney, I’m super excited to continue growing what we do across the APAC region.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tAn Innovation Day that has been running for 6 years, successfully growing from 90 attendees to a record 390. Our brief was to deliver a focused and personalised event with quantifiable return on investment (ROI) for every attendee.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWRC PLC\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tWe were appointed by CAMSS World, an event facilitating company for IT business leaders who deliver events in Canada and the UK, to deliver an end-to-end event management solution for their UK event in May.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCAMSS World\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
An annual summer event for 262 adults and children. Their ‘EGG-stravaganza’ event earlier in the year had been a huge success and employee expectations were high.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVeritas – annual summer event\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
Project managing a virtual seminar expected to attract over 800 global registrations, and showcasing our client’s technology, meant there was no margin for error.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOPUS 2 – Global Virtual Seminar\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
We have been delighted with the level of detail shown throughout the entire project, both pre and onsite for our events.It’s crucial that our attendees feel tremendous value when they attend our events and with the support of The Events Raccoon, we’ve undoubtably elevated our customer experience.We love working with the team so much, that we’ve extended our contract to take on international events.Bring on Canada!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFounding Partner and CEO\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Having been extremely impressed by The Events Raccoon team when working with them in the UK, we decided to continue the relationship across our Canadian event portfolio.The success in London was far from a one off. Despite the perceived difficulties with time zones, our customers were none the wiser due to the attention to detail and responsiveness shown by the team.When on site, every piece of the event was managed with complete professionalism and always with a smile. We love working with The Events Raccoon.Professional, likable and always on point. Thank you!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCo-Founder and President\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
The Events Raccoon came in from day one with fresh and creative ideas.They listened to our brief and used their understanding of our brand to really help raise the bar on our event.We look forward to working with them again!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExecutive Assistant to Vice President Channels EMEA \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Thank you for your amazing support with Staff Day!You were an absolute delight to work with from start to finish.We couldn’t have pulled it off without you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChief People Officer\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
We have been working with The Events Raccoon for 3 years and the team are the epitome of professionalism and deliver exceptional service at all stages of any project.They have things done and organised before we even know what to ask, and ensure that our events, be them small scale innovation days or large national conferences, run seamlessly before, during and after.Every detail sorted to\u00a0perfection.A pleasure to work with and a friendlier and more engaging team you couldn’t find anywhere else<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial Director\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
The Events Raccoon delivered several business events across Europe as part of a CRM programme I was managing. Beckie has been very insightful, hands-on and a real problem solver. And she’s lovely to work with!She is passionate about her work and most importantly, she gives you piece of mind.She was a perfect extension of my team and she consistently helped us deliver a quality experience to our audience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGlobal Head of Marketing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
From the offset they were able to understand all elements of event planning, took the time and effort understanding the business, and quickly took the job on board.Confident in delivering what we needed and on our wave length.The event delivered above and beyond our requirements and received very positive feedback internally and externally from customers, suppliers and partners.I would recommend The Events Raccoon to any business, Beckie and her team won’t disappoint.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMarketing Manager\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
We engaged with The Events Raccoon for our third in house exhibition where we were exhibiting our machines and facilities as well as launching a new product to a wide range of customers.From the outset, Beckie was a breath of fresh air: she was able to understand us and our business very quickly, was exceptionally well organised and delivered to a very high level. She managed us very well, and ensured that all deadlines were met, copy was produced and liaised with a plethora of suppliers on our behalf to deliver a fantastic event.Beckie’s continual enthusiasm and energy for the event was second to none (and much needed by 7am on day three!)I would not hesitate to recommend The Events Raccoon for all event management needs!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHR Director\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Beckie has recently done an event for us and the extent of her planning from beginning to end is extremely impressive.We had a number of planning phone calls and finished with a thorough debriefing document reviewing the entire event. We felt able to completely relax and concentrate on our clients knowing that Beckie was looking after everything.She delivered on everything that was promised.What was even more appreciated was her willingness to adapt to our changed circumstances that meant a different kind of event from the one that was planned but at no point did she give the impression that anything was too much trouble.I cannot recommend Beckie and The Events Raccoon highly enough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFounder\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tThe Events Raccoon team are super detailed and have no issue problem solving. Professionalism personified!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRob Simms, CAMSS World\u00a0\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tBeckie and her team are extremely competent, reliable, knowledgeable and good humoured. I can wholeheartedly recommend them!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJayne Matwiejczyk, WRc Plc\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
Beckie and her team were not partners, they almost immediately became an extension of our internal team!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVeritas\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
