Eventful Limited Update - Promotion of Claire Gardner to Managing Director

Aeorema Communications plc (AIM: AEO), a leading strategic communications
group, is pleased to announce that its venue sourcing, event management and
incentive travel division, Eventful Limited ("Eventful"), has promoted Claire
Gardner to the position of Managing Director. In her new role, Miss Gardner
will lead Eventful's strategic initiatives, drive growth, and further enhance
Eventful's position as a trusted partner in the events industry.

 

Gardner's promotion follows the departure of Eventful's previous Managing
Director and Founder, Caroline Lumgair Wiseman, who has been instrumental at
the helm of the agency.

 

Caroline Lumgair Wiseman commented, "My journey at Eventful has been filled
with learning and incredible experiences, seeing the business grow from
strength to strength with opportunities to collaborate with leading brands,
delivering memorable events in locations across the world; work that I will
always remain immensely proud of.

 

"Eventful is deservedly thriving after successfully innovating its way through
the pandemic. I'm proud to leave the agency with a fantastic future ahead and
the opportunity to write the next chapter of its legacy, beyond my tenure.

 

"I'm delighted that my colleague and friend, Eventful's Operations Director
Claire Gardner, will be promoted to Managing Director when I depart. With
Claire's deep understanding of the industry and passion for delivering
exceptional service, she is well-positioned to lead Eventful into its next
phase of growth and innovation.

 

"For now, I'm looking forward to taking a break over the summer to spend time
with my ever patient, young family. My deepest thanks go out to the Eventful
team and to everyone in this industry who has so loyally supported, guided and
encouraged me through these eventful years."

 

With over 25 years of experience in the events and hospitality sector, Gardner
brings a wealth of expertise, connections and a proven track record of success
to her new role. She joined Eventful in 2011 as the Operations Manager, where
she played a pivotal role in the leadership of the agency and the fostering of
strong relationships with key client and supplier stakeholders.

 

Miss Gardner shared, "Having had the pleasure of working with Caroline for 12
years, I am incredibly honoured and excited to step into the role of Managing
Director at Eventful. I have witnessed the remarkable dedication and talent of
our team, and I am confident that together we can achieve great things. I look
forward to working closely with our clients and partners to continue
delivering outstanding incentives and events globally."

 

Group CEO Steve Quah expressed his confidence in the promotion, sharing:
"Claire has played a crucial role in strengthening Eventful's position in the
market, and I have no doubt that under her guidance, we will continue to
innovate and deliver extraordinary experiences for our clients. I am thrilled
to have her leading Eventful into the future."

 

Eventful and the wider Aeorema Communications Group extends its immense
gratitude to Caroline for her contributions and wishes her all the best in her
future endeavours.
