“I’m privileged to have joined such a passionate team. Their focus on the client and creating industry leading events is a pleasure to be a part of,” said Mr Simpson

“We understand the importance of ensuring a client’s brand permeates every level of the event, and this comes down to attention to detail which I believe sets our team apart.” added Mr Simpson
