ABOUT ME
Richard Chalmers, freelance event producer

Theatre-trained, commercially minded

I started in theatre, trained at Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, and went on to deliver events for Jack Morton, Universal Studios Singapore and international meetings agencies, then produce conferences for 7,000 people in London. I've worked as technical director, producer and regional director, so I understand the whole project, not just one part of it. I also have an MBA and build my own event tools.
