Background

About Stephen Bielby

Entrepreneurial Spirit | Event Expert | Sales & Marketing Veteran With over 30 years of rich experience in sales and marketing, I've journeyed from grassroots beginnings in manufacturing to now leading my own dynamic business. My venture specialises in contracting to a diverse portfolio of clients including trade associations, hospitality organisations, and hotels. I offer a suite of services that spans mystery shopping, event consultation and hosting, trade event management, copywriting, product reviews, operational support, and some design work. My career has been characterised by a passion for creating memorable experiences and delivering exceptional results. I've had the privilege of managing projects of various scales and complexities, from local business open days to grand concerts for over attendees in collaboration with The National Trust. This breadth of experience has enabled me to work with a wide range of clients and customers, from factory floor personnel to managing directors and celebrities like Rowan Atkinson, Brian Blessed, and Evan Davis. Accuracy, attention to detail, and customer satisfaction are the cornerstones of my professional ethos. These principles have been especially crucial in my latest engagements, where I've interacted with military organisations such as the RAF and the Red Arrows, and have facilitated the sale of high-ticket bespoke luxury goods. I thrive both as a self-driven individual and as an integral team member, recognised with various awards for my contributions and achievements. Notably, during my tenure at Damart, I played a key role in the ‘Breast Cancer Care’ charity committee, orchestrating events that combined philanthropy with innovation, like the VIP awareness evening featuring a spectacular light show projected on the Damart building. Specialties: Event Management, Sales & Marketing Strategy, Customer Service Excellence, Project Management, Copywriting, Mystery Shopping, Operations and Design. I'm always looking to connect with like-minded professionals and explore new opportunities for collaboration. Let's make the exceptional happen together!
