After 27 successful years of Leadership from our MD and founder, Andy Ashley has decided to hand over the reins of Corporate Events to our existing leadership team, Laura O’Bree and Matt Shepstone. 

A few words from Andy: “I am incredibly proud of the business and culture we have built, and I cannot think of a better team to continue the CE journey. Both Laura and Matt have a wealth of industry experience and will make a formidable team as they take over the running of CE and propel the business into the future.    

I’d like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank everyone at Corporate Events, our loyal clients and our amazing freelancer community who have supported myself and CE over the last 27 years. It’s been an amazing journey and long may it continue.”Andy Ashley, MD.

This management change marks an important milestone in the company’s history; however, the focus of the company still remains solely focused on our passionate team continuing to collaborate to create and deliver memorable experiences for our wonderful clients. 

The future is exciting for CE, with plans to continue substantial growth within our field whilst the structure of the company will remain the same. 

“Matt and I are incredibly honoured and excited to lead CE into this new chapter, working closely with the rest of the Leadership team to grow the business and look after all of our wonderful team members! We’d like to say thank you to Andy for his 27 years of leadership and trusting us with CE and wish him a very happy retirement.” Laura O’Bree, new CEO of CE and Matt Shepstone, CFO of CE.
