Natalie Prew
Business Design Centre, Venue Services Manager
“Natalie Prew joined the BDC as venue services coordinator. Her tenacity and ability
to integrate herself into the exhibition teams soon saw her promoted to venue services
manager. Natalie becomes part of the team and is very helpful. Rather than just saying
“no” she tries to find ways of making things work.”
In five years’ time: I will still be working on the exhibitions for sure; I see my role
encompassing an advisory position. I’m in the perfect position to help plan creatively,
whether it’s helping organisers maximise their exhibition space or supporting them to give
the best service to their exhibitors.
Tuhin Quddus
Clarion Events, Event Manager
“I have known Tuhin for two years and in this time I have seen him
deservedly rise from sales manager to event manager at Clarion. He has
routinely delivered on his events and has become an ambassador for
Clarion at professional and social events. Tuhin has demonstrated immense
maturity and ability and is incredibly well-liked across the industry.”
In five years’ time: I will be working as the industry’s shortest event
director, armed with a talented group of hungry professionals. I will also be
down the pub, so see you there.

possess. Her new ideas and fresh approach have completely revitalised the events she
works on and her driving force in the operations team make her an outstanding asset to
the company and tipped for incredible potential in her career.”
In five years’ time: I will be using my expertise, knowledge and experience to lead the
way for how we continue to challenge and innovate operational best practice across the
exhibitions industry with customers at the forefront.
Ben Smit
Clarion Events, VIP Delegation Manager
Over time Ben’s aptitude and diligence have become
remarkably apparent. He understands the defence sector and
also the nuances of communicating with the military better
than many of the established members of the team, including
those with military experience!
In five years’ time: I will be still be smiling and enjoying life
regardless of where I’ve ended up!
