Meet the team

Katie Caldwell

Client Relationship Director

I head up event services and work with the board to shape our event strategy and ensure best practices are applied company-wide. I’ve loved the sheer variety of projects I’ve run across industry sectors such as food technology and healthcare, and being a speaker of both French and Spanish comes in handy when dealing with our global clients and suppliers. I’m fanatical about building enduring client relationships, and continually refreshing our collective event skills, processes and spirit of innovation – all of which helps to keep TTA at the forefront of global event management.

Louise Charles

Client Relationship Manager

In my role as a key figure in client relations and account management, I focus on nurturing strong client relationships for exceptional event delivery partnerships. Understanding the challenges faced by our global corporate clients and staying ahead in client engagement are a pivotal part of the job.
This passion for delivering outstanding client experiences translates into refining our services and enhancing collaborative efforts.

Claire Gibson

Senior Project Assistant

I joined TTA armed with extensive experience in marketing and events in several sectors including financial services and insurance. My expertise spans over 15 years across a wide variety of projects from roadshows and conferences to exhibitions, virtual meetings and incentives. Being part of a busy project team delivering global events for leading international companies is exciting and I love applying my skills and experience to delivering customer and internal events that surpass expectations.

Andy King

Project Manager

Since joining the TTA team in 2018 I have enjoyed varied project management and digital roles, and always been active developing the company’s evolving sustainability agenda. I am excited to lead our new vision-to-action sustainability strategy. This seeks to propel meaningful change within our business, our community and through our exceptional client event experiences that strive to leave a minimal footprint and a positive legacy.

Sonal Kholia

Project Director

I am proud of having over 10 action-packed years within the events industry, with a large focus on project directing and managing global healthcare and pharma events. With projects ranging in size from 10 to 1,000 plus participants, I also have broad expertise in the hospitality, sporting and wedding sector. In my experience, creating trusting relationships and building rapport with clients underpins the most successful projects and I really enjoy bringing events to life in partnership in a variety of global destinations.

Kimberley Knight

Project Manager

Since graduating from university with a first class degree in international event management, I have gained strong customer services and events experience with global organisations including Cartier and Walt Disney in the USA. My role as part of the TTA team gives me the opportunity to coordinate a mixture of virtual and live events, and engaging in projects that involve meticulous preparation over a number of months. This environment gives me the scope to build on my international corporate background and look for new ways to really engage with audiences to create lasting impact for our global clients.

Anne Lee

Business Risk Manager

My role covers anything that may adversely affect the reputation, safety or prosperity of TTA. Once a risk is identified, “prevention is better than cure”, so processes and procedures need to be in place to ensure we are prepared to deal with any potential threats. The decade I spent as Account Director, combined with my previous life as a lawyer is brought to bear. My lovely colleagues are always gracious and cooperative at audit time!

John Lee

Legal Manager

Combining thirty years as a lawyer with over a decade as TTA’s General Manager and Managing Director I now oversee all the organisation’s legal and regulatory functions. This includes the provision of accurate and relevant advice to colleagues so it’s important to see things from a commercial and strategic perspective as well as knowing the technical legal position. I’d miss the fun and enjoyment of working here too much to retire.

Julie Lewendon

Operations Director

As TTA Operations Director, my role is incredibly varied and requires my involvement in many aspects of the business to ensure it runs smoothly. My foundation of over 30 years’ event, hotel and travel management experience at TTA and other leading industry organisations, helps me ask the right questions and advise clients on the event solutions that will deliver the best return on their objectives. I’m fastidious about sourcing venues and suppliers at competitive rates and forging collaborative relationships with global partners.

Mike Moreira

Project Manager

As a member of the TTA digital team, I support the design and delivery of global client projects across all event formats. I love all things tech from the latest in event management platforms to creating the best virtual and hybrid experiences. With an entrepreneurial background, I have a strong business interest and thrive on exploring new ideas and identifying opportunities for growth.

Cara Murphy-Howell

Client Relationship Manager

With extensive experience in the healthcare industry, I specialise in project managing complex events and creating innovative and impactful experiences for delegates. My expertise spans both virtual and face-to-face settings, where I thrive in adding value and meeting operational and strategic objectives. Additionally, I have qualifications in Prince 2 (foundation) and a Diploma in CIM, plus certifications as a Change Management Practitioner and Scrum Master.

Nikki Parsons

Project Director

I bring a combination of fresh perspectives and experience in both event management and marketing to the mix at TTA. My international exposure to major public events, high profile product launches and exclusive private events, complements my role as a Project Director at TTA which is incredibly varied. I greatly enjoy leading and working on all aspects of a project with the TTA team, from conception to completion and value the interaction with clients and colleagues alike, which I believe is key to the effective delivery of events.

Sammi-Jo Phillips

Senior Project Manager

With a diverse events background, I've delivered large marketing exhibitions in London, held in-house roles with international hotel chains and travelled the globe managing events for life sciences clients. I have since developed specialist expertise in the healthcare world of investigator meetings, congresses and customer conferences for leading pharmaceutical companies, as well as comprehensive onsite delivery of various events throughout the product lifecycle. One of the best feelings is being part of a team that creates memorable participant experiences and I really can’t imagine enjoying another career more than this.

Roger Price

Managing Director

My role is to develop, plan and implement strategies that align with our business goals and enable TTA to grow and prosper. However, at heart I am a storyteller, and what I enjoy most is creating compelling content that communicates our client’s messages in innovative and engaging ways. Whether we are producing an interactive experience, a video or an event, I get immense satisfaction when our content makes a real impact; be it building new relationships, changing perceptions, influencing decisions or engaging an audience with our client’s brand.

Sam Rhodes

Head of Production

My role is to lead the Production department at TTA, encompassing a range of creative, content, technical and digital management services. I entered the industry following a love of theatre and the stage which has led to working globally for leading brand experience agencies, bringing together the people and resources required for the production for a wide range of conferences, launches, celebrations, exhibitions, consumer experiences and major public events.

Heather Steven

Project Director

With over 12 years’ experience as an ambitious and passionate marketing and events professional, I continue with my journey of designing and delivering high quality successful projects as a member of the TTA team. I have both an agency and in-house client background and thrive on performing in high pressure environments and overcoming challenges we meet along the way to create exceptional results. As a people person, I enjoy building relationships with TTA’s great clients and encouraging and supporting our team – celebrating performance and having fun!

Mark Turner

Finance Director

My role is to lead TTA’s finances and ensure everything runs like clockwork, from sales and purchasing to preparing management and year-end accounts for audit. Internally, my priorities include business and finance planning with the rest of the board and providing budget training and guidance to account teams. Our outward-looking approach means I also spend considerable time liaising with clients to ensure our financial systems and processes are efficient and in sync.

Kelley Walker

Project Director

As a people-person, I love being at the heart of the TTA team with responsibility for looking after some super clients with diverse event needs. Over my many years with the company, I have worked on a wide range of projects in the UK and overseas and am a vociferous champion of best practice in customer service. Creating a lasting impression is all in the finishing touches, so I love leading and supporting our team on the nitty-gritty aspects of project management that contribute to the bigger picture of event effectiveness.
