The REM team is huge, or compact, depending on if we are running a small internal conference or a huge public festival. We tailor our team using a network of long-standing partners, who have trained on our events over two decades.
So many of you will know Bob, who runs event control, or Adrian, our site manager who you’ll meet year after year, but here’s our core team, who plan our events and bring in other experts alongside.
Ben is a meticulous and strategic event director. No matter what is at the core of our clients’ events, he learns the industry, its opportunities and possibilities and applies calm logic and experience to make magic happen. All within the budget!
One of the founders of the health and safety principles in the events industry, Mike is an incredible operator in event planning, crisis management and crowd dynamics. As one of the founding directors of The Event Safety Shop, he has vast experience of all types of performers, event types and suppliers, saves our clients money, solves problems seamlessly and helps us to make things happen which perhaps might not.
He is also our resident maritime expert and his wealth of knowledge about tides, ships and traditions mean he is invaluable for harbour, sea and naval events, should you be planning a festival of the sea!
