Sandra Hennessy

I have a background in communications and spent nearly 30 years in the corporate sector, where I led senior management conferences, fundraising events and staff volunteering programmes. Much of my work focused on social impact and building meaningful charitable partnerships, which is where my passion for sustainability in the events industry really began. Having previously worked with Viva Esprit as a client, I joined the business almost three years ago and now work closely with Joint Managing Directors Paul and Nadine Fenton in their ambition to be recognised as a leading sustainable event agency. I'm incredibly proud that we have recently achieved ISO 20121 certification and B Corp status and these milestones really reflect not just my commitment but the values of the whole team. I'm passionate about working alongside others across the industry to collectively drive meaningful, positive change and to ensure sustainability remains at the heart of how we deliver events.
