The Events Insight
It’s an EVENT BUYERS LIVE SPECIAL!
Honesty is always best when it comes to chatting on the podcast, we like to find out about the person behind the LinkedIn profile.
Jack and Karen chat to Neil Fagg, Managing Director of StandOut Magazine and Event Director for Event Buyers Live. Neil has a great story to tell… like most people, he fell into the events industry!
In his own words, he is “a father of 2, F1 nut and always seeking a new adventure!”
Neil started out as a roofer, then moved into advertising, then one Boxing Day sat in a pub (with his business partner) and decided they should produce a magazine. Neil had been dealing a lot with the events industry through his work in advertising, he knew this was the industry to target – warm, friendly, and full of interesting people. And so StandOut Magazine was born.
