📣 Please join me in giving Tessa a very warm welcome to the Montserrat Events team.
Today is a proud day for me personally and another important milestone in the continued growth of Montserrat.
When I first met Tessa, we quickly realised we’d actually been competing for the same piece of business. It certainly made for an interesting first conversation! As we got talking, it became clear that we shared many of the same values, the same passion for creating exceptional events and the same belief that success comes from building genuine relationships.
Over the past few years, Montserrat has grown beyond anything I could have imagined. We’ve secured partnerships with some incredible organisations, developed prestigious events and built an ambitious vision for the future. To continue that growth, I know I need talented people around me who bring fresh ideas, challenge my thinking and share that ambition.
That’s why I’m delighted to announce that Tessa is joining Montserrat Events as our Regional Business Development & Events Manager.
Tessa brings a wealth of experience in event management, business development and client relationships. More importantly, she genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences for people and helping businesses succeed. Those qualities fit perfectly with the culture we’re building at Montserrat.
Rather than me telling you about Tessa, I’d like you to hear from her…
“I’m incredibly excited to be joining Jonathan Moore at Montserrat Events as Regional Business Development & Events Manager.
Over the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of building and growing my own business, Kissing Gate, creating bespoke weddings, corporate events and memorable experiences for thousands of people. One of the things I’m most proud of is consistently achieving five-star reviews while building a business that also allowed me to maintain a fantastic work-life balance and raise my three daughters.
More recently, I’ve been working with the Isle of Wight Cocktail Co, helping to grow the business through new commercial partnerships, increasing brand awareness and securing major contracts. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I’d like to thank everyone I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside.
I’m passionate about building strong relationships, creating memorable experiences and helping businesses grow, so joining Montserrat feels like a fantastic fit. I’m looking forward to working with Jonathan and the wider Montserrat team, developing new partnerships and playing my part in delivering exciting events across the region and nationally as Montserrat continues to grow.”
Tessa, welcome to the team.
I have absolutely no doubt that together we’ll continue building something very special.
