TOBACCO DOCK VENUE - Key Persons
Backgrounds don't come more wide-ranging than Alice's, with form in everything from museum and gallery curation to live music events and premises licensing. As a previous hirer of the venue, she's here to support clients through the process of breathing life into their ideas.
Alicia heads up our Event Operations team. Her background of working at London's leading arts venues and museums is put to great use in creating events that align with our clients' missions within our buzzing listed building.
Cat's six years' event experience was punctuated by a year flying as Cabin Crew, when she travelled the world and learnt how to deal with tricky clients, crawl through smoke-filled spaces and even deliver babies! Having worked on everything from music festivals to brand launches, she's excited to be working in a unique space with world-recognised brands.
Catherine helped set up the Science Museum's daytime conferencing offering and moved on to work for Woods Quay, where she sailed with clients up the Thames. Back on dry land in her role at Tobacco Dock, she excels in helping clients build their perfect event, identifying the ideal spaces and finding the right suppliers.
With an extensive background in music events and working with unusual venues, Charlie has plenty of practice at building compelling attendee experiences. Part of the Event Operations team, his favourite part of the job is helping clients to use the spaces in unexpected and exciting ways.
Rising from account manager to Director of Sales in just six years and now Tobacco Dock's Commercial Director, Charlotte isn't just an inspirational leader, she's our Queen of Data - analysing trends to ensure we're exploiting every opportunity to host creative events and experiences.
Once a client of Tobacco Dock, Chelsey has a great insight into how the process works from ‘the other side', which helps her to anticipate our clients' needs and give them the best experience possible.
