Over 20 years of experience in the events industry has made Richard a master of his craft. He's tackled everything from the nitty-gritty operations of the Ideal Home Show to the high-stakes world of growing and managing exhibition sales teams with a portfolio exceeding £5 million.

But Richard isn't just about the numbers. Since 2010, he's embraced project-based work, diving headfirst into diverse sectors like construction, social housing, education, and financial services. His passion lies in bringing failing events back from the brink and launching new ones with a bang. He's the go-to guy for creative solutions and unconventional thinking, and you'll never hear him say, "Let's just steer a steady ship."
