If I wasn’t abroad, I was in Birmingham 🐂
Or that’s how it started to feel, in the first couple of months of this year 🙃
One of the brilliant jobs that brought me to Birmingham was the Keely Klassic
A spectacular sporting event bringing athletics to a new audience, plus broadcast on the BBC’s red button.
A fantastic day out with the @wearewhispertv team.

The start of this year has been a whirlwind 🌍
January and February was a lot of international travel for work, including:
🇲🇾 Malaysia
🇪🇸 Spain
🇮🇹 Italy
🇵🇹 Portugal
🇪🇬 Egypt
One of the highlights: whilst working in Barcelona with a delightful team from the UK with @cue2cueteams I was able to reconnect with @emilyelizabethburton.
We first worked together in Emily’s home city of Las Vegas, then in Munich last summer and here we were working together in Europe, once again.
I absolutely adore the network of international friends and colleagues and the opportunities to see the world together, through our work.

Wrapping up 2024 and looking back over the last few months.
It’s been busy, both work-wise and personally, but eternally grateful to be doing jobs I love.
Curiously, this quarter of the year has featured a lot of automotive jobs for me.
I didn’t plan it that way, but they included:
- Society of Motor Manufacturers’ Annual Dinner for @seventy.events
- A fundraising gala for a charity who are building a more inclusive future for young people, especially in Motor Sports
- A streamed broadcast from the UK + Ireland HQ of a motor manufacturer
- The relaunched awards for the historic side of the motor industry
- A Formula 1 team Christmas party.

There were plenty of non-motoring jobs too.
Including this one:
Variety Disability Sports Awards.

I am thrilled that @benhewisvideography captured this candid shot whilst we were rehearsing the awards ceremony.
He’s perfectly captured the sheer joy of getting to do the job I love, working alongside some the best in the business.

One Adele of a Ride! ✨
This summer has been quite the rollercoaster.
Munich brought us all of its weather, from blisteringly hot days to typhoon-like storms, it was wild.
Large-scale outdoor shows are quite the ride too, with so many external factors to take in to account.
It was an honour to have been a part of this incredible experience.
