Megan Gillett

Business & Management (BA) Hons graduate with a commitment to growing my career in the Events & Hospitality industry.

My desire to build my career in the events and hospitality industry started when I volunteered as event support for two renowned and high-profile events and secured my first events role for a reputable wedding venue. Through my studies at University, I continued to learn practical skills such as taking a concept and building it into an end product. During my most recent job role, I have managed and executed mid-size B2B events, ranging from roundtable discussions and conferences to networking celebrations, all whilst gaining transferable experience.

Having experienced the fast-paced nature of the industry and foundational concepts of planning an event, I enjoy working in the events industry because I flourish when being in charge of organisation and find the pressurised environment fuels me to keep working hard. I have learnt that I thrive when working alongside passionate and driven people, who can collaborate towards shared goals.
