Trusted Experience Rooted in Oxford’s Festival Heritage
Across more than three decades in Oxford’s events landscape, I’ve led and supported everything from student-union gigs to some of the city’s largest ever outdoor productions. My early career at Oxford City Council saw me help deliver landmark moments including Party in the Park, OOMF!, the Radiohead homecoming concert, and the development of South Park as a major event venue. Alongside this, I gained deep experience running indoor corporate, cultural and civic events at Oxford Town Hall, from conferences and formal dinners to jazz nights and community performances.
In later years, I continued to expand my portfolio through international experience in New Zealand and, more recently, through producing community-driven festivals such as FloFest and GloFest. These events strengthened my expertise in creative production, multi-agency planning, safety management, budgeting, and delivering the “wow factor” through lighting, staging and atmosphere. My freelance and voluntary work—supporting initiatives such as the Eid Extravaganza, People’s Fair and many events at Florence Park and East Oxford Community Centres—further grounded my practice in community collaboration and inclusivity.
Today, I bring together a rare combination of large-scale production experience, community engagement, creative vision and operational rigour. Whether supporting festivals, neighbourhood celebrations or heritage events, I am the ideal partner for those looking to deliver safe, seamless and unforgettable experiences. I help organisers think big, plan confidently and achieve moments that truly inspire their communities.
