I am delighted to have Paul Jackson, Managing Director of High-End Caterers Alison Price, join me for One Amazing Experience. Prior to his 21 years with Alison Price he worked with esteemed caterers, Searcy’s and started his career working as a Private Butler.
Paul takes us through his fabulous birthday event at Blenheim Palace while discussing both educational and funny experiences from his time in events.
From working for a high net worth individual who owned 32 Rolls Royce and his own gunboat to being stuck in a lift with Nelson Mandela to how the Queen likes to mix her own martini and the importance of a properly addressed hand delivered event invite.
He also addresses how the events industry has adapted in recent times and the importance of leading by example: only asking people to do what you would be happy to do yourself.
Paul touches on how Alison Price have dealt historically in recessions and equally how they have scaled up from doing events for up to 200 to now comfortably catering up to 2000.
Paul gives us a glimpse of the unique experiences working in the events industry has provided him, and his passion and creativity which culminate in him putting on a spectacular event for his 300 guests including his chosen celebrity, Elizabeth Taylor.
