Position: Chief Executive

After completing a Business Studies and catering course, Anita started her own administration company for one year. She then went on to work for the International Sales Team for Holiday Inn in London (now Marriott) before becoming Sales Manager of the Holiday Inn (now Marriott), Dyce, Aberdeen for eight years.

Anita relocated back to Swindon as Sales Manager of the newly built Holiday Inn (now Marriott) in Swindon where she managed to secure £3million of confirmed business, the highest ever for a Holiday Inn opening.

In 1989 Anita left the Holiday Inn Group to start up her own hotel and conference booking agency. Since then the business has continued to grow, and is now one of the UK’s leading event management, conference placement, venue finding and accommodation booking agencies.

Anita has always been very active in the local business community and became the first female President of the Swindon Chamber of Commerce in 1991. She is very involved in local community support particularly with the Macmillan Foundation.

Despite being the Chief Executive of Venues Event Management, Anita continues to be very client focussed and often gets involved in specific event projects. She continues to work on numerous events across the company's varied client base throughout the world.
