Ashley Light

Project Manager

What does your role entail?
I am one of the Project Managers who will take your ideas from concept, through to delivery and make sure all the moving parts in the process keep moving just as they should. Turning your needs and dreams into reality!

Are you a morning or evening person?
I think working in events makes you an all-day and all-night kind of person!!  If I had to pick though, I would say morning.

Where were you working before joining the Firebird Team?
I was an Ice Rink Manager, then moved on to be a Casino Manager and freelanced in events for a number of years, alongside my full-time roles, before going full time in events at Firebird.

What do you do in your spare time?
I enjoy going to the local ice rink to watch ice hockey with my family – a family member plays for the local pro team and also for the Great Britain team!

What do you love most about working at Firebird?
The people. We are a really close-knit team and we get on really well, which makes life a lot easier and keeps it a fun place to work.

Where is the favourite place you have travelled to?
Kenya. It was a while ago now, as I was only 21, however the experience was unbelievable and I think being able to go on a safari is a once in a lifetime thing that everyone should do at least once.

What is your favourite event you have worked on?
PLASA – building the stand for Robe Lighting.  It’s always a creative masterpiece and it’s great being able to work on such a high-profile project within the events industry.

Five words to describe what Ashley brings to the team…
Experience, collaboration, determination, creativity and fun.
