Team MV is always on the move, just as our name suggests. We're excited to introduce you to some fresh faces and showcase some recent developments in our team.

Kitchen

Sarah Hartnett

Firstly, we warmly welcome Sarah Hartnett, who has joined as the Executive Pastry Chef for Moving Venue. With experience as the Head Pastry Chef for the Royal Household, Sarah brings a wealth of expertise, having also worked at Claridge’s and Sheraton Park Lane Hotel. Sarah is deeply passionate about the art of pastry and training her team. Among her accolades, she has been awarded the “Professional Fellowship for Excellence in Education” from WCK College in recognition of her educational contributions. Sarah also serves as a chairperson for the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Annual Awards of Excellence. We are excited for you to experience Sarah and her Pastry team’s creations this Autumn.

Furthermore, we have welcomed several additions to our Sales team, and it is our pleasure to introduce Kate Bassett, Oliver Gough, and Olivia Chamberlain.

Kate Bassett

Head of Exclusive Venues

Kate, Head of Exclusive Venues, manages the venues where Moving Venue is the dedicated catering partner. This role holds great significance within the team, and since joining in April, Kate has made remarkable progress. With extensive experience working with London-based caterers including Party Ingredients, Searcys, and Boulevard, Kate has found immense satisfaction in being part of Team MV. Her most memorable event to date was an exclusive film premiere after party hosted at Landing Forty Two this summer.

Oliver Gough

Senior Event Sales Manager

This summer, we are pleased to welcome Oliver “Oly” Gough as the Senior Event Sales Manager. After spending the last few years with esteemed London caterer the Admirable Crichton, Oly is eager to work across the Unique Venue’s of London portfolio, of which Moving Venue is accredited at over 20 venues. We are delighted to have Oly on board, so be sure to keep an eye out for him at your next event!

Olivia Chamberlain

Event Sales Coordinator

Lastly, Olivia Chamberlain has joined Moving Venue as an Event Sales Coordinator. Freshly graduated from university, Olivia is ready to hit the ground running, and we believe Moving Venue is the perfect place for her to do so.

Paige Norman

Head of Sales

With a wealth of new talent in both the sales teams, we are thrilled to announce that Paige Norman has been promoted to the position of Head of Sales. Paige will now oversee all sales activities across our accredited portfolio of venues. This role is crucial at Moving Venue, and we have full confidence that Paige will excel. Having joined the Moving Venue team in 2018, Paige’s growth has been remarkable, and we eagerly anticipate her flourishing in this new role.

Planning

Bethany Dare, Ziggy Bracey and Tullulah Moorse

Lastly, we extend a warm welcome to Ziggy Bracey and Tullulah Moorse in the Planning team. Ziggy is new to London’s event catering scene, having worked with the Unique Norfolk Venues portfolio. Ziggy initially came to London as a freelance chef, providing her with a comprehensive understanding of both front and back-of-house operations. Her culinary expertise is outstanding, making her a valuable addition to the Planning team. Tullulah Moorse also recently joined the Planning Team in preparation for a busy Autumn. Having previously worked with one of our staffing agencies, High Society, Tullulah has been a popular member of staff at Moving Venue events. We were delighted when she expressed interest in joining the team permanently. Leading the growing planning team is Bethany Dare, who became Head of Planning earlier this year. Much like Paige, Bethany has been an integral part of the Moving Venue team for many years, and her venue knowledge is unmatched.
