Event expert goes back to school

When it comes to providing the very best service possible to all her clients, Sarah Threlfall, director of Brightspace Events always goes the extra mile.

Recognising that safety and compliance at events was such an important issue for her business, Sarah decided to train as a health and safety professional, achieving a NEBOSH qualification in 2021.

As a micro-agency Sarah felt it was important that Brightspace was competing on the same level as larger companies. She said: “The beauty with modern day qualifications is that everything is so flexible; no fixed lessons, no long journeys to training centres and several exam dates to choose from.

“There was also a cloud-based library for extra reading materials and a really helpful Facebook group of fellow students.

“The course was really eye opening – I now understand more about our legal system, the regulations that are relevant and how to research new or specific legislation.

“Health and safety is a very practical and nuanced topic with a lot of very industry specific questions so the Facebook group was a brilliant place to thrash out some of the more weird and wonderful challenges that we are faced with in the event world!”
