Who we are

We are an event agency based in Hampshire.  We create and run events for our clients all over the world. 

 

We have a fantastic team with a wealth of experience. Our network is large and very diverse so we can be sure to get the right people at the right level for every aspect of your event.

 

For each project we put the perfect project team together and this structure allows us to flex to each client and ensure that we provide the right solution for every project.

A bit about me … 

​

I have worked in the event industry for 3 decades. Over that time I have worked on some huge projects and some very small ones.  I have been privileged enough to travel around the globe and also spent time delivering events in British chain hotels that back onto ring roads.  I have worked with budgets that astound me – both high and low.  I have worked across most sectors and met some incredible speakers and experts in their field. 

​

No two events are the same and it is this variety that captivates me.  I thrive on finding creative solutions to the many challenges that present themselves, I love the buzz of an event and the feeling of accomplishment when it all goes well.  I believe in working hard, doing the best possible job, being part of a team and having some fun along the way. 

 

Setting up Potting Shed Events allows me to continue to work in the industry I love and work with people who inspire me.

I have seen Julia excel at everything the events world could throw at her - both at general agency management and client project levels. She devours volumes of challenging work which would ‘floor’ many others. She is commercially astute, fair-minded and always has solutions.
