"always brings fresh ideas, makes the event feel calm & fun"
We love working with Leigh from LA Event Management! She's so lovely to work with, always brings fresh ideas to the table, and somehow makes even the busiest show feel calm and fun. She takes the hard work off our hands, which means we can put our energy into the details that really count. Our stands look fantastic, and we're so grateful to have her on our team.

"absolutely unstoppable"
I have known Leigh for close to 20 years from her former life in the corporate world before she started LA Event Management.
I had used the same event organisers for years (let's face it we all like to stick with what/who we know) but then they decided to retire leaving me with a challenge. That's when I called on Leigh. She is absolutely unstoppable and has that perfect combination of making it fun whilst also holding us all to account to bring the plans together and deliver on the day. Her excellent team and network of support services means that she can help to deliver an intimate meeting through to a large scale conference and she has a real talent for making recognition events go smoothly and the participants feel truly special.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leigh in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to bring professionalism and polish to an event, from an exhibition to a conference, a recognition event to a formal meeting or product launch. She'll be on it from the first moment and won't rest until it's successfully delivered.

Leigh and her team have been an invaluable partner to us over the years. They helped shape and deliver our calendar of events, managed complex stand builds, and consistently elevated the look and feel of our presence at key industry moments. From seamless supplier liaison to thoughtfully curated team off-sites, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made our event strategy a success.

"you will always get a quality result with any project"
Leigh is a breath of fresh air, she brings huge amounts of energy and ideas to all that she undertakes. We first engaged with Leigh in summer 2021 to organise an event for us. Leigh took on the full responsibility for the event and did such a great job that we have continued to work with her on an ongoing basis for a variety of marketing and events activities. You know you will always get a quality result with any project you ask Leigh to own, not only that she will ensure that you have fun on the way.

"she was across every detail of the event & gave us complete confidence"
I’ve worked with Leigh for many years now across a number of different brands. Most recently she delivered our first, large-scale event at Openreach. Despite it being completely virtual, there was a huge amount of work that went in to it. This was a huge learning curve for the business, as we completely under-estimated the amount of planning and coordination needed for a virtual event.
From planning the agenda and managing & sourcing suppliers, to souring speakers and coordinating the production on the day, she was across every detail of the event and gave us complete confidence along the way.
We’ve had such positive feedback from delegates, speakers and sponsors, which is down to her incredible hard work, wealth of experience and focus on excellence.

"We chose Leigh at LA Event Management. I’m so glad we did. "
Exhibitions were a new channel of marketing for CB Benefits back in 2018. We decided to take the plunge and make a large investment to exhibit at the largest Employee Benefit show in Europe. As we were relative novices, we needed an expert to help us maximise our investment.
We spoke to a number of events companies and chose Leigh at LA Event Management. I’m so glad we did.
What we loved about Leigh is that she quickly takes ownership of the project, ensuring every single area has been thought about. Nothing is missed and nothing is too much trouble. Leigh came to our offices and brainstormed with the team. Although her knowledge in events was far more superior than ours, Leigh always made it feel like a collaboration, where Leigh was bringing out the best ideas from all of us. In addition, her inside knowledge and experience saved us from some really costly mistakes.
Whenever we exhibit, we touch base with Leigh to get her thoughts and I’ve recommended her services to numerous people and will continue to do so!

"versatility, diversity of thought and attention to detail"
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Leigh during our time together at Auto Trader. Her span of influence across a wide range of customer events always demonstrated her versatility, diversity of thought and attention to detail. We host an annual customer event that recognises the best the industry has to offer and each year Leigh meticulously plans, innovates and delivers with the mindset of continuous improvement, making the event a well known, attended and respected occasion. As well as large prestigious events, Leigh also has the ability to make small, exclusive experiences a delight for our customers, hosting CEO’s, Board Level Directors and Industry Professionals, adding personal touches and attention to detail that makes each and every one memorable.
As a host of a number of these events, I was lucky enough to be able to focus efforts on our customers and never on the finer details, Leigh is always on hand to manage the situation and to top it all, does it with cool confidence, professionalism, infectious energy and a smile!
