PETE THOMSON

Having had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of positions on dozens of amazing projects across the global live events industry for over a decade now, I consider myself very lucky to have worked alongside some of the most talented professionals in the industry on events on a local, national and international stage.

I'm a Freelance Production & Live Event Professional with extensive experience in project management, support and coordination, including Olympic, Paralympic & Commonwealth Games. A keen interest in developing further within the Global Live Events industry, with a particular focus on major events within a Games & Ceremonies environment.

In addition to working with some of the most talented individuals in the business, I've also had the opportunity to live and work all over the world, experience new cultures and develop my skills and experience along the way.

I have developed extensive practical experience in project support & coordination in a variety of roles across the industry, I am particularly adept at staff and volunteer scheduling & management; workforce planning; accreditation & data management; and operational planning & delivery.

I've managed the Logistics division, overseeing six Logistics/Operations departments, on a Commonwealth Games Opening & Closing Ceremonies team; produced Souvenir Programmes for Commonwealth Games Ceremonies; Project Managed Royal Openings; and scheduled workforces up to 2,500 people.

I'm always interested in hearing about new projects and work opportunities.
