The end of an era…
I fell into the Events Industry by accident. A friend of my brother’s told him that he was looking for a PA and my brother said he should speak to me because I was job hunting. It was 1997 and that friend was Tim Gasson, the MD of Absolute Corporate Events Ltd, a small hotel booking agency on the cusp of a rapid expansion into full event management services and future success.
I was at ACE for ten years, spent another twelve years in partnership with James as Adam Baker Event Logistics (ABEL2), and have been on my own trading as LBxLogistics since 2019. I travelled extensively, worked crazy hours, had countless incredible experiences and met many, many fabulous people.
But Covid forever changed everything.
I have loved the Events Industry with a passion and miss every element of the vibrant and amazing world in which I worked, but that was then and this is now. Priorities change, and after threatening to do it for years, I am finally hanging up my hat!
