After many years working in the hospitality industry, we realised that there was a gap in the market – to create an event agency who focuses on relationships first and with a priority on supporting clients achieve their goals by delivering inspiring events.
With a wealth of experience, a passion for excellence and a zing of creativity, ZiaBia was established in 2012. Since then, our team has received enviable feedback on the wide range of events we’ve delivered.
With success comes growth. ZiaBia continue to add to our team of passionate individuals, all bringing their unique insights, creativity and love of all things events to help us turn your vision into reality – reality in terms of first class events and just as importantly, in terms of your ultimate goals.
Our team are the core of what sets us apart from other agencies. Working in events comes with its own challenges and hurdles, balancing long hours and travel with quality downtime at home.
We are very aware that stress levels can be difficult to navigate so we have a framework in place to support our team.
ZiaBia offer flexible working – whether that is working from home, part-time and compressed hours. We operate an open door policy as a problem shared is a problem halved.
To support this we champion collaborative working as we all bring complementary skills and experience to the table. It may be a cliché but every idea IS a good idea and if not used this time, then maybe the next!
There is also fun – we have fortnightly team meetings, often with a team dinner added on, and quarterly wellbeing incentives with a competitive element to encourage a healthy, positive culture and environment.
Dedicated to creating exceptional event experiences – our team bring your vision to life every time
ZiaBia always stick to our core values when planning client events as this is the essence of who we are. Each of our core values are so important in building relationships with our clients – to offer them the best value for money and experience to help them deliver their events.

Director
ZiaBia is a celebration of this – We are blessed to work with so many amazing clients and some of these are also now friends. I find inspiration in travel whether within the UK or further afield. The world is our oyster and we should make the most of all the opportunities we have to explore!
Director
I am inspired by people that constantly push boundaries and want to achieve more and that’s how I aspire ZiaBia to be – I want us to think big and form relationships with our clients and supplier partners that is so trusting it creates from it the best type of work ethic and results. What we do for our clients, and that feeling you get when you see all of the achievements from your hard work is very hard to beat.
Head of Events
I am a natural organiser (I love a list) but nothing beats the feeling of delivering an event that you have been working on. The client’s realisation that we have captured their vision and the delegate experience is what I really love about working in this industry.
ZiaBia works with a diverse range of clients which ensures every day is different. Be it a new challenge, a problem to solve, people to meet or new brief to respond to. I am delighted to have joined the team!
Global Account Manager
Working with ZiaBia’s extensive list of diverse clients gives me a great opportunity to tackle a new challenge every day. I feel fortunate to be joining such a small dynamic team who’s values and ethics are so aligned with my own.
Senior Project Manager
I have a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences and enjoy the challenge of making every detail come together flawlessly. I have a calm, organised approach to even the most complex projects and I love being involved on-site in anything from large-scale conferences to tailored corporate experiences.
Project Manager
Global Venue and Partner Relationship Manager
Over the years, I have been lucky enough to have flown on everything from Concorde to a tiny float plane and to date have travelled to more than 80 different countries, enjoying every second.
I have a passion for the events industry and enjoy every element of the detailed planning process, from the initial destination and venue research through to the delivery on site and all points in between.
My mantra has always been that the “devil is in the detail” and paying attention to the smallest details makes the difference between delivering the ordinary and the extraordinary.
In my spare time, I enjoy walking in the countryside with my two Weimaraners and working in my garden alongside volunteering in my local community.
Event Support Consultant
I’ve been working in the events industry for 2 years and I absolutely love it!
I studied Business Management with Festivals and Events at University, which give me a solid mix of creativity and organisation. I also enjoy diving into social media marketing – helping events get the buzz they deserve and reaching the right audience is something I’m passionate about.
Event Support Consultant
From being in the Front of the House, to taking care of dignitaries and celebrities, to serving food, to selling, planning and executing weddings and events of various capacities, I enjoyed every little second of them all! I even had the honour of meeting dignitaries like Mr Bill Clinton and celebrities like Mr Michael Bublé.
I moved to Bristol, UK in 2005, in search of overseas work experience, and started my first job here with Thistle Bristol. I went on to work in the Southwest Sales Office in Marriott where I looked after 9 hotels for 9 years and a further 7 years in Sales & Events management for 2 Bristol Marriott Hotels.
This is when the spark of event planning started to light up for me. Never looked back since and the flame is still roaring!
I am excited to be joining ZiaBia as they share the same diversified passion that I have… meeting people from all walks of lives. Being able to work on an array of events is what I thrive for and being able to watch your hard work come to fruition… priceless!
