Event Footprints’ managing director, Rob Curtis, said, “As the business grows, and we work across an increasing number of meetings, conferences and events, we are looking to engage experience and talent to foster growth in our capability. George and Melanie are ideal additions to the team, bringing proven experience and expertise. Melanie’s knowledge of event technology is both wide and deep, and George has already demonstrated the vision to create and launch a highly successful virtual convention, before the pandemic sent us all virtual. Both Melanie and George embody the inspired thinking we are keen to embrace at Event Footprints.
“Event Footprints is steadily expanding its customer base, working with in-house event organisers and conference and meeting agencies in the UK and overseas. This is an exciting period of focused growth for us – we have come a long way in a relatively short time – but we remain realistic in our ambitions; client service will always be our priority,” Curtis concluded.
