Bio
John Lunt
I've known Jamie for a number of years through his events and work on the London Marathon and Big Half. Always enjoyed working with Jamie, his planning ability and attention to detail hare just two of his strengths. job role briefings are clear, concise and well communicated. Being an effective leader, he manages his teams from the front and always remains in full control. It's been a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend Jamie for senior event roles. He would be an asset to any business.

The Swim Serpentine event has 6000 swimmers taking part in open water swim events from 1/2 mile through to 6 miles in Hyde Park, London. To deliver a successful mass participation event in a Royal Park, Jamie had to manage external multi-agency project planning meetings, coordinate with multiple contractors and event manage during build, event day and strip-out, while working under Royal Park regulations. Jamie successfully delivered complex and hugely successful events through his role in managing the Swim Serpentine Project Team. . I really enjoy working with Jamie and appreciate his attention to detail and calm attitude during high pressure situations.
