  • May 2010 - Present

  Over the past 20 years I have been involved in the Entertainment and Event Industry. I have learned that there are three things that make an event great. Organisation, Organisation, Organisation! A great event must be planned with meticulous detail, it must be nurtured by people who "get it", people who have been there, done it, bought the t-shirt! At PM Events we can advise, book, organise, do whatever it takes really to make sure that the event you want is the event you get. " If its the stars your after, we'll bring a ladder!" Show less
