Education
There are over 50 Event Management degree courses taught at universities throughout the UK and as a business one of our objectives is to wholly embrace the new community of organizers entering the profession.

“I just wanted to thank you for a very inspiring lecture today. Your enthusiasm was contagious as it is very easy to get bogged down with the theory of events and the demands of university assignments and sometimes it is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.”
Third year student at Southampton Solent University, 2008
"We were absolutely delighted to have Rachel Ley as a Visiting Lecturer at Westminster University. Our postgraduate Conference & Events Management students benefited immensely from her analytical approach to the teaching of events organising, combined with her considerable practical experience of planning actual events".
