Our client is gearing up for an exciting set of international customer events in October and November this year and require an experienced Events Manager to organise and coordinate the smooth running of the project!  The role will commence in July and take ownership of the events from start to finish, culminating in attendance in Japan in the Autumn to ensure that they are a success.
