Evcom members gathered earlier this month at the House of St Barnabas for the organisation's AGM. Dale Parmenter (DRPG) and Pete Stevenson (The Edge Picture Company) welcomed attendees and Jennifer Jenkins gave her final report as CEO. She also used this opportunity to officially pass over to Evcom's new CEO, Leigh Jagger.

The new board members were also announced. Hayley Greaves (Ashfield Meetings & Events and Spark Thinking), Alex James (BCDM & E), Mike Phillipson (Blitz GES), Jon Gout (Karma), Tim Langford (Tim Langford Film), Toby Low (Merchant Cantos), Dean Beswick (Gorilla Gorilla), Angelee Rathor (Seven Events), Charlotte Gentry (Pure Events) and Gaye Bennett (Radley Yeldar) make up the new additions to the board.

With representation from across the live event and corporate film sectors, the new members expressed their excitement at driving Evcom and the communications industries forwards. 

Jagger says, “I am really excited to begin this new chapter of Evcom history with such a qualified and driven group of people. I look forward to seeing where we are able to take EVCOM together.”

Members and board members, new and old, were then able share their views on how they want to shape Evcom in the future, and how Evcom can best serve its membership.
