Kathryn Tweedie

Events & Deputy Managing Director

Hi, Kathryn here, I have been working in the events industry for over 12 years now. I love working in such a fast paced, creative and dynamic industry. My experience started with a global events agency before moving into event technology to extend my knowledge base. Recognising my passion lay with the overall event management process, I joined ND Events (now plannd) to work more closely with clients on every aspect of their event. Having seen the events industry grow and adapt over a decade, it makes me even more passionate about the events we put together in Northern Ireland. Along with incredible clients, we have some amazing venues, world class food and breath-taking experiences to enjoy and I love bringing events to life for our clients. I am a mother of two busy, little boys who take all almost all of my time outside the world of events.
