CREATING THE FUTURE (2019)
I worked with Weatherbys Bank CEO, Roger Weatherby, to realise his vision for a brand new annual conference called Creating the Future.
The first one in 2018, then the second in 2019 brought together some of the world’s most well informed and well regarded experts to talk to clients about topics relevant to the future of humanity, for example the environment, education, healthcare and democracy. Not only did Creating the Future change perceptions of Weatherbys and raise awareness of the brand it also acted as a catalyst for clients who wanted to help address some of the world’s most pressing issues.
James Thornton, founding CEO of ClientEarth, was just one of the many illustrious speakers.
OFF THE WALL (2007)
In 2007 I organised a selling exhibition of photographs called Off the Wall that raised £236,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Supported by my committee – which included some of the UK’s most knowledgeable and influential experts in the area of photography such as Michael Hoppen and Zelda Cheatle – I secured 67 photographs which were auctioned by Christie’s Head of Photography, Philippe Garner.
The spectacular collection included photographs by Horst P Horst, David Bailey, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and Mary McCartney.
