  I’m really excited to join the team at SH Retail Investments as Events Manager for ‘The Nook on 5’, Cheltenham’s first rooftop restaurant offering the finest views of the Cotswolds. Occupying the fifth floor of the newly-refurbished Quadrangle building, next to the iconic Imperial Square Gardens, the Nook will offer a blend of modern British cuisine with subtle references to traditional French food, alongside contemporary cocktails and an extensive wine list. Diners can expect glamorous interiors too with a stunning cocktail bar, live piano music and the rooftop terrace will be open for alfresco drinks in Spring 2023. If you would like to host an event or special occasion at the 'Nook on 5' please contact me direct via email on sam@thenookcheltenham.co.uk Show less

  • Feb 2011 - Feb 2016

  Not for Profit Organisation I spent 18 months developing the concept and set up this company to create a yearly fashion event to showcase our Independent boutiques and to highlight the fashion talent we have in the Cotswolds. I also created an educational arm to work alongside the University and College to support our fashion students who created work for the event and also volunteered. Year 1 I hosted all 17 events at Cowley Manor with Elizabeth Hurley and Van Morisson as my VIP guests. Year 2 I hosted events all over Cheltenham culminating in my VIP event at Mercedes’ Benz Showroom. George Davies came on board and Philip Treacey, Haute Couture Milliner, agreed to be my Patron. This was a personal highlight . Show less

  Music has been a driving passion since I was a child. After 5 years in London in the music industry including A & R admin and managing INXS I decided to move to Los Angeles to continue my career in the music industry. After some time producing events and music videos, a move into film soundtracks was a natural progression and an absolute joy for me. Music has been a driving passion since I was a child.
