Delivering impactful events for the built environment
I am an experienced events leader and CEO of STEP CONNECT2, an award-winning organiser dedicated to creating exceptional experiences for the built environment. With over 20 years in the industry, I have a proven track record of driving commercial success and building long-term partnerships with key stakeholders, including the Department for Education, Scottish Government, Welsh Government, and the Government of Ireland.
Previously, I served as Commercial & Event Director at Step Exhibitions and contributed to UBM’s property portfolio, where I was honoured as Sales Person of the Year in 2006. My focus has always been on innovation, collaboration, and delivering measurable value to clients and audiences alike.
Passionate about fostering excellence in events, I bring a commitment to inclusivity, sustainability, and impactful content.
