After receiving her B.A. (Hons) in Events Management, Carrie Howarth continued to plan and coordinate weddings, launches and many other functions for friends and family, whilst also working in marketing, including working with her father and Grandad at Newton Press. “I returned to my passion after having my first child and was pleased to accept the position as Events Coordinator at The George Hotel in Piercebridge”.

Social occasions are normally a chance to enjoy, learn new things and meet new people, which for a social butterfly like Carrie Howarth, are great opportunities.

During this time she planned events for local pubs, charity fund raisers, clairvoyance nights and birthday parties.
Carrie also worked at Darlington Football Club, Northern Echo Arena organising parties, weddings, meetings, conferences, trade shows and corporate match days. This was good experience learning how to run an event that suits clients’ needs.
“I am ready and keen to help and advise on any events, meetings, conferences, Christenings, parties and funerals.” said Carrie.
