“Events is an industry that doesn’t sit still, and creativity is a skill that can’t sit still either. I’m excited to capitalise on this constant movement to create a really bright future with First Event. We’re already off to a great start, and I’ve been blown away by how the entire team is eager to find new ways to progress and develop, together.
“I’m looking forward to helping First Event grow, offering value in new ways to meet the evolving needs of our clients”.
Also joining the Leeds company is former DRPG and Fresh Group senior staffer, Alex Stonall, who becomes Account Director.
“At First Event we’ve always been at the forefront of innovation, both through the bespoke experiences we create for our clients, and the results that this generates for their stakeholders,” said Richard Murphy, Group Managing Director at First Event.
“Marc and Alex are the perfect additions to our already strong team. These industry powerhouses are equipped with skills that will allow our clients to capitalise even further on our wrap-around service, helping to bring them closer to their business goals.”
