Steve Jebbett - Corporate Events New Starter

The latest addition to the steadily growing Corporate Events team is Oxfordshire based Steve Jebbett.

Joining as Account Director, Steve brings many years of industry experience with him to Corporate Events. Having worked agency and client side in the role of Event Manager, Steve is only too aware of the pressures on clients in the build up to and during events.

Steve comments: “In my time at British Airways and Reed Elsiver, I've experienced some hair raising moments that - at the time - seemed like the end of the world, but they all get filed away to learn from in the future and it has been an amazing learning experience.”

Corporate Events HR Director Jed Bowers comments: “When we were recruiting for the role Steve is now in, we wanted to ensure we had a candidate that could add value to an already strong and impressive proposition, so the task was a tough one from the outset. What impressed us about Steve is that he’s worked events from both sides of the fence - client side and event audio visual production side, which gives him a unique insight and empathy into the issues faced by our clients.

This gives Steve a real strength when communicating both to his clients and his internal team. Having “been there, done that” is a real advantage in his position and already we are seeing that clients enjoy Steve’s hands on approach.”

Managing Director Andrew Ashley adds: “While people may look at an event and only see the bright lights and feel the exciting experience on the day, it takes weeks and months of meticulous planning to deliver outstanding events time after time. Steve has the process and planning skills that are invaluable to anyone in this role - he’s a real find for Corporate Events.”

But the last word goes to Steve Jebbett: “ I'm thrilled to be at Corporate Events. They are a business that really values the individual, understands the meaning of teamwork and is truly people focused. I've delivered conference productions and gala dinners before, but Corporate Events are just that little bit better. They have ambitious plans and an amazing track record and I’m pleased to be able to be part of their developing story.”
