Twenty-three years after falling into the events and hospitality industry, Flow is still as passionate and excited by the challenges and opportunities it holds.

 

From starting off in an association conference and events team, Flow has steadily moved through her career experiencing both operational and sales roles at venues and event management agencies. Three years ago, whilst furloughed and fearing the worst for her beloved events industry she came across a Sales manager role for Autograph Events and the rest as they say is history.

 

Now, as Sales Director, following a promotion last year, Flow’s passion is to build meaningful, genuine relationships with Autograph’s clients and suppliers to ensure the best possible service and creative, memorable events are achieved for all. As a self-confessed Venue Geek she is always looking out for the next new space for her clients; even if that means getting the family involved in a sneaky peak into hotels when passing by!

 

Flow is mum to three and loves nothing more than a good book, a glass of red wine or a 5K run! (not necessarily in that order!)
