Former Senior Events Manager, Nick Ruffles has been appointed as Events Director at leading events, creative design, PR, and marketing agency, Big Cat. With nine years experience of event management under his belt, Nick has shown a deep understanding for the needs and wants of his clients, which has lead to his recent promotion.

Having studied Product Design and Marketing at Southampton Institute, Nick joined the Big Cat team in 2008. Within a year Nick has already worked on a number of high profile events including London Gay Pride and Bodies Revealed. He as also worked on some of the country’s leading music festivals with Jägermeister.

Nick said: “Big Cat has given me many unique and fantastic opportunities in such a small space of time. Events I’ve worked on range from the URA Star concert which was for 6,000 people at the NIA, to the more corporate Innovation Advisory Service workshops which are run in conjunction with Business Link.

“2010 is set to be another outstanding year for us with a number of high-profile events both in the private and public sector. The past year has been a struggle for the events industry across the country as many clients are severely cutting budgets and expecting a lot for nothing, however it’s our job to make the most of the resources we have and ensure our suppliers are competitive which will in turn ensure the events we put on are something to be proud of.”

Established in 2000, Big Cat Group is a 360^o agency incorporating events, creative design, PR, and marketing functions.  With offices in St Paul’s Square, Birmingham and London’s Soho district, BigCat is a young and vibrant agency with a broad regional and national client base, incorporating business to business, public sector, and creative industry accounts.
