Meet the team

As is true of many members of the events team, a career in events was always on the cards for Helen. Following a degree in International Hospitality Management at Leeds Beckett University and event roles in hotels, Helen joined the museum as Event Sales Executive and has since been promoted to Event Sales and Marketing Manager. Her favourite space is the Royal Platform—in particular, Queen Victoria’s personal carriage.

Nicola has a varied background with extensive experience in events, hospitality, sales and marketing and a BSc Hons in Events and Leisure Management. Nicola looks after event operations across the northern sites in Manchester, York, Bradford and Shildon and while a lot of her work is behind the scenes, she enjoys jumping back in on event delivery when needed! Nicola’s favourite exhibit is the Shinkansen Bullet Train in Great Hall
