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.
