Events Executive

We have an exciting new role. We're looking for an organised and enthusiastic Events Executive to join our Business Development and Marketing team. Events play an important role in how we build relationships, share expertise and strengthen our brand. From networking events and roundtables to conferences, webinars and tradeshows, you'll help bring our events programme to life and ensure every event delivers a positive experience for attendees and stakeholders alike. This is a varied, hands‑on role that will see you involved in every stage of the event lifecycle – from planning and logistics through to delivery and post‑event evaluation. You'll work closely with colleagues across the firm, supporting both larger strategic events and providing guidance to teams running smaller‑scale activities. If you're highly organised, thrive on managing multiple projects and enjoy creating memorable experiences, we'd love to hear from you. The role will involve travel to event locations across London, Kent and Sussex. A full UK driving licence, or the ability to travel to remote locations, is essential.
