Venues Event Management is delighted to announce the appointment of Ben Harrop as Client Development Manager. Ben will be developing three large key accounts; BP, Morgan Stanley and Baker Tilly.
The beginnings of Ben’s career were not exactly typical for an events professional. After graduating from University with a BA(Hons) in Drama, Ben worked as a professional actor for five years. After working solidly in theatre for this time, Ben wanted a change of direction and decided to put his passion into events.
Ben joins Venues Event Management from a five year stint working as a freelance consultant for the event industry. He was based in South West France during this time and worked with a client base that included: Madame Tussauds, Dish Catering, M&G, Reuters and HSBC.
Before this Ben was Sales Director at Fortesqueue’s Events based in London. This role also gave Ben exposure to major corporate clients including: KPMG, Lehman Brothers, Bank of New York and JP Morgan.
When asked why he was attracted to the position at Venues Event Management Ben commented:
“I really enjoy face to face interaction with clients and this role gives me the opportunity to work with some very high profile companies. Venues Event Management appealed to me because of its open friendly ethos and I am looking forward to developing the existing client base of my key accounts.”
