    We are Bray Leino Events, 100+ event professionals, working out of offices in Bristol, London, Devon, Stratford upon Avon, and Chicago. We deliver upwards of 200 events every year, from exhibitions and conferences, to summits, galas, awards, product launches, roadshows and everything in between.

    We work all over the globe, face to face and virtually, with brands, businesses, charities, and governments who all have one thing in common - they have a key message that needs to be articulated through the unique environment of a live event.

    These are not standard events. We imagine differently. We create spaces where leaders make international headlines, and sometimes change the world.

    For starters, you get 25 days holiday, which goes up to 29 after 2 years. There's a company pension scheme, cycle to work scheme, and an extensive employee discount scheme that will save you money on everything from gym memberships to eating out.

    We play hard. We throw awesome seasonal staff socials, finish early on Fridays in the summer, and we close down every year between Christmas and New Year.

    We'll look out for your wellbeing. There's a medical plan that pays cashback on your dental treatment, glasses, physio and things like that; plus, it features an employee assist programme with a 24hr GP hotline and wellbeing support service. And if you refer a friend to come and work for us, we'll pay you a finder's fee.

    The serious stuff

    We take the serious stuff seriously. You'll be given access to the learning and development you need to grow and progress. And we have clear codes of conduct and policies on issues like equality, diversity & inclusion, and sustainability. So if you have a view or an idea, we'll want you to be involved in helping us always be better.

    If this sounds like something you could see yourself doing, get in touch now.
