#FreelanceFridays Are you proud of what you do? Reflecting on 2024, there was one particluar event I managed which was unusually challenging. For the first time since going freelance, this one left its mark and a whole heap of learnings. When talking about it recently, someone asked, “are you proud of it?”. What struck me is that event in, event out - I am proud of everything that I do. Because if you’re not, then what’s the point!? Would I do this event again? Absolutely, but bigger and better. Do what you love. Be proud of it. & Happy Friday. #EventProfs #Events #EventFreelancer #Operations #EventManagement

Running a well oiled machine event takes a dedicated team. As a freelance logistics support for event companies I know what I bring to the table but I'm just one piece in the jigsaw ?? But what do I bring to the table?: ?Experience & expertise ?Time consuming research and liaising ?Planning & coordination ?Problem-solving When working on large scale events there are clearly many moving parts....that are ever moving. Having logistics support in the background, keeping a handle on those moving parts and being the safe pair of hands is invaluable to a smooth event. So that you, the client facing event planner, doesn't have to be blowing into a brown paper bag like this.....as it's all in control. Freelance means that I work with many clients and they only pay for the work that I do....win win. Do you need this support right now in your events business? #eventsupport
