Testimonials
Fraser Murdoch, former Managing Director, Emap Public Sector
"I worked with Briony for over six years. Hugely competent and totally reliable, in that time she transformed two exhibition portfolios, both forging and directing the strategy. And brilliantly managing her teams. Every time, she tirelessly focusses on customer needs and aligns her plans relentlessly to those needs. Brilliant."
Dominic Savage, Director General, British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA)
"Briony has a wide range of flexible skills that she demonstrated over the years as we engaged in new projects and refined those which are years old; BETT was 25 this January (2009).
Strong on strategy development, good at thinking out of the box and ensuring her team does likewise, she is also effective on detail. Briony therefore brings together a wide-ranging skill set which would be valuable for any event management, though I think her flexibility would suit her to a wide range of demanding roles."

Bronagh Bell, Business Development Director, Beardmore Conference Centre, NHS Scotland - former Head of Marketing, Learning and Teaching Scotland
"Briony and I partnered the development and delivery of a number of key education events in Scotland from 1999 to 2006. Initially we co- directed the marketing of the Fusion 2000 conference in Glasgow, from which the Scottish Learning Festival emerged. A shared vision of creating a flagship event for the Scottish education community - underpinned by Briony's leadership of the EMAP team, ensuring that plans were developed and implemented to reach our ambitious targets - was a key success factor for the now established event. Briony's experience of the exhibition and event industry is invaluable and her marketing and management skills second to none. It was a pleasure to work with her."
Lorraine Petersen, Chief Executive, nasen
"As Exhibition Director at Emap, Briony Mansell-Lewis was instrumental in establishing the relationship between Emap and nasen, and as a result has raised the profile of the special and additional educational needs and disabilities sector and that of nasen within Emap events. To achieve this, Briony has worked alongside nasen to ensure the sector continues to have a place at Emap events and that both organisations continue to work together for the foreseeable future. It has been a pleasure to work with Briony, who has maintained a drive and professionalism throughout her involvement with nasen, to support the work we do."
