Rural communities are their own ecosystems
Resilient, compassionate, creative, hard-working and truth-telling. Each rural community is unique in its networks, rhythms and interests.
These are notoriously hard to discern from the outside and can make or break the success of an event. Happy communities means greater audience participation and community acceptance.
As a respected and trusted community member, Denis has an intrinsic understanding of what works. He's the vital link between your project and the public, brokering stakeholder buy-in and ensuring sensitive engagement with affected individuals and businesses.
People will be talking about your event for weeks to come - for all the right reasons!

Local know-how
Denis' community connections run deep. Having run events in the local community for over 25 years, he knows the best suppliers, the most trustworthy caterers, the best-suited venues. All the essential details that a Google search or ring around through the Yellow Pages doesn't reveal.
With outstanding connections in the local media, he knows how to get your message out to the people that matter. He trusts his suppliers, meaning no surprises, guaranteeing your project remains on-time and within budget, and saving you all the running around!
