Bio
Carolyn Mason
RebeccaThomas stands out from the rest of the crowd. She is vivacious, friendly and confident. She won a year placement at Merlin Events fighting off over 300 applicants to get this coveted role. She did not disappoint us when she started in the team. She is solutions focussed; always looking out of the box for improvement ideas. She requires little direction (a rarity with placement students who often need lots more guidance). Becky will make a first class event professional when she leaves Uni. She a great team player and any company would be lucky to employ her.
Samantha Burton
Rebecca is a very hardworking individual with a great ethos for work. She is a great personality within the team and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Rebecca has quickly grasped both operational and sales aspects of events and has the makings of a fantastic Event Manager. I cannot recommend Becky highly enough.

After 2 years and 11 months in the events manager role at Merlin Events, I achieved a promotion to become the Senior Events Manager for the London Team and my initial project was to revive and re-launch the events business at the Coca-Cola London Eye. I headed up the sales team, and had the responsibility of securing events business across the portfolio of unique venues; Madame Tussauds London, the Coca-Cola London Eye, SEA LIFE London Aquarium, the London Dungeon, the Riverside Rooms and Shrek’s Adventure! London. I managed a team of five; four events coordinators and one events administrator, and lead them to reach our financial targets. As part of my role, I was responsible for reporting our results to the General Manager of Events, as well as the General Manager of each venue, and the Divisional Director of the London Cluster at Merlin Entertainments.Alongside my sales and marketing responsibilities; I continued to manage large and high profile events at the 5 star London venues. I worked with an array of clients and event partners, and delivered events from product launches for 100 guests up to corporate parties for 1000 guests. I left my position as Senior Events Manager for Merlin Events London when I co-founded and launched Eventify Ltd.
