Member Profile

RenewableUK is the UK’s leading renewable energy trade association, specialising in onshore wind, offshore wind, and wave & tidal energy. Formed in 1978, we have a large established corporate membership, ranging from small independent companies to large international corporations and manufacturers. Our aim is to ensure increasing amounts of renewable electricity are deployed sustainably across the UK, and to support our members win business in renewable markets in the UK and around the world to meet the Government's Net Zero ambitions. 

My experience in the events industry developed with 16 years at a membership Trade Association in the oil & gas sector where I managed the Association’s events portfolio of over 120 events per year which tokk place nationally and internationally travelling to Brazil, UAE, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa and Europe multiple times a year. This is where i can truely say I developed in my role and learnt about the customs and practices of the diffirent countries I travelled to. I am ever grateful for the oppoutinuty and experiences I had which helped define my style and practices.

Following my time there, I worked at Diabetes UK for a short time before joining RenewableUK. As a Senior Event Manager at RenewableUK, I lead on the production and implementation of the Association's multi-day conference & exhibitions (Global Offshore Wind with 3,600 delegates), round table workshops, UK Pavilions, seminars, VIP dinners, and evening receptions. The role is not only limited to phyiscal events, but has expanded to mastering virtual events production and implementation.

2020 has taught me not to take things for granted, that i am can adapt to a new scenario in a short time and to stay positive, i have to be open minded. You can't let challenges break you.
