Barbara Shea

As a personable and motivated professional, I have a clear understanding of effective event planning and production. My current role in Event Production has provided me with a solid foundation in organising exclusive events, allowing me to overcome on-site challenges and manage client expectations. My academic background in History and Politics has sharpened my research, analysis, and critical thinking skills.

These skills, combined with my experience in both the creative and corporate sectors, enable me to closely follow a company's brief, identify their specific needs, and craft innovative, tailored solutions. I thrive in dynamic environments, and can think on my feet and maintain composure under pressure. My goal is to continue creating memorable experiences whilst remaining a team player for the company I represent.

Worked internationally across four continents to deliver high-end event production for diverse occasions, including award ceremonies and destination weddings. Notable clients include Stoke Park, Golden Vines, Brand Brewery (DHL Express), Rolex, and Dolce & Gabbana. Communicated and collaborated with British and international suppliers, ensuring seamless project delivery.

Managed freelancer recruitment and data collection for Forta crew management software, serving as the primary on-site contact. Handled pre-production management, including sourcing and budget adherence, and created detailed event Production Schedules and RAMS.

I have a bachelors degree in History and Politics and was awarded a 2:1 grade
