Meet us
Meet the team behind Expect Events—dedicated, dynamic, and driven to deliver excellence.
Mike Large
A force of technical and operational expertise, Mike is relentless in ensuring success. Whether managing events, solving problems, or strengthening
relationships, he gets things done—and done right. He also happens to be a long- suffering Leeds United fan, but we don’t hold that against him.
Heather Parry
Energetic, tenacious, and passionate about bringing people together, Heather has a wealth of experience—from running events and building venues to managing associations. She thrives on creating connections and driving success. If enthusiasm and positivity were a sport, she’d have a Premier League title—fitting for a Ted Lasso superfan! She is also keeper of the office dog Noodle.
Nigel Pulling
Numbers, governance, and strategy—Nigel makes them all look easy. A former chartered accountant and finance director turned CEO of a major charity, he’s the guy who keeps everything running smoothly (and legally!). A lifelong Newcastle United fan, he knows a thing or two about loyalty and patience!
