I also have a wealth of experience of running businesses, branding, marketing strategies, identifying gaps in the market, pitching the prices right, ensuring contract and terms and conditions are sound, licences and planning needed to meet legislation, and importantly keep up to date with trends knowing what wedding couples want from venues in their journey from viewing to their big day.

As a professional public speaker for over 30 years, trained by the BBC, I help others with confidence and presentation skills.

My robust former background in strategic management in the corporate world provides my skillset in logistics, staffing, grant funding, tendering for business opportunities. Im also a graduate from Exeter University with a BA(Hons) Degree, also achieving their Outstanding Performance Award.

I now passionate to share my wealth of experience to others who need expertise support and guidance from a consultant or business coach of whom you can trust to be discreet. My forte is building good relationships with my business clients, supporting them, guiding them, and being their cheer leader. Im known for my down to earth professional honest guidance in a confidential manner.

‍Venues Ive Helped:

I have been contacted by a large luxury corporate conference wedding venue in the South East of England after investing in their property, were surprised they were not converting enquiries into sales.

I have supported an independent start up wedding venue located in the South West of England, from those initial thoughts about changing their home, gardens and fields to offer weddings too, including what they needed to do structural, renovations and planning wise, developed their brand, wrote their contracts and policies and procedures, and took on their event management as they outsourced their wedding planning to us as experts running several wedding days that received 5 star reviews.

‍

We provided advice to a coastal holiday let business with outdoor space who wanted advice if their business was suitable to offer as a wedding venue.

Currently working with a stately manor wanting to set up as a wedding venue in the South West of England, and an established historic licensed wedding venue wanting sustainability and growth, now Im working in partnership managing their weddings under their umbrella

We have ourselves owned property and venues and have turned them around increasing profitability in Essex, Sussex and Somerset.
