Alison Hibbert is Director of By Parallel Events and celebrates 21 years in business this year. She shares her secrets to success below...
The Top Ten secrets to my success:
- Hard work.
- Great relationships with clients which I have always nurtured, and many have become good friends.
- A great sense of humour at any time day or night.
- Working with the best supplier and venues on all events.
- Never taking anything for granted.
- Still enjoying what I do, finding the right venue/theme for each client and then seeing their faces when all is revealed.
- Staying connected with people.
- Learning to say no and setting boundaries.
- Always learning and looking for fresh ideas.
- My little black book of contacts from over 30 years of networking and events.
People call me
Al, Queen or Dolly but in events you answer to most things!
I like…
My cats, Strictly, travelling, laughing, seeing my friends, walking, log fires, the sea, visiting new venues, great customer service, loyalty, my clients, and huge events.
I dislike…
Needles, dishonesty, people who don’t pay their bills on time, bad service, and bad manners.
