Venues and Events International announce Emerging Leaders Programme

Venues and Events International, the event booking agency based on the outskirts of Swindon, have announced a new ‘Emerging Leaders’ programme.

The programme, new for 2020, is an acknowledgement of the incredible dedication and potential shown by a select few employees, particularly during the lockdown period.

Spokesperson Josephine Bradley said: "An initial short-list was created following nominations from the Senior Management Team, which were then whittled down to the final three."

The final trio are;

Kayley Westall, Conference Team Supervisor

Olivia Unsworth, Senior Event Manager

Hay Tang, Event Executive

Kayley Westall, commented “I love being part of the team here, there are always lots of opportunities for training and learning as Venues and Events International are really committed to recognising and assisting with the development of individuals, but this programme really takes it to the next level.  I’m very excited to have some additional mentoring and see what the future holds!”

Anita Lowe, CEO of Venues and Events International added: “The events industry has taken a beating this year due to the COVID-19 crisis, now more than ever it’s essential that we recognise the hard work of our team and look to ensure we’re fit for the future. We are so pleased to be developing and nurturing these future leaders of the events industry, knowing that whatever they do within their career we will have had a positive impact in setting them up for success. We live and breathe our values and this is all about us being dedicated to our employees and them being dedicated to the industry.”
