At Lemon Lane, she will be responsible for leading the production of client events, which includes overseeing creative strategy, content development, design, set and staging, as well as technical and crew management.
Zoë Dunn has been appointed as senior project manager for logistics, joining from conference and events agency, Emota where she progressed from project executive to senior project manager.

Emily Kyd has joined as project co-ordinator after graduating from the Event Academy with a level seven master’s equivalent course in event management and marketing communications accredited by CIM.
She will focus on the logistics side of event support at Lemon Lane, liaising with suppliers, building websites and registration paths, as well as providing on-site support.
Lemon Lane has also made two promotions to key leadership roles.
Alice Walton has been promoted to the newly-created role of production team leader, where she will oversee the production team, ensure smooth-running of event delivery, as well as support operations and Lemon Lane’s evolving marketing strategy.
Catherine Harding, who joined Lemon Lane in 2022, has been promoted from logistics project director to the newly-created role of logistics team leader. She will be responsible for logistics team management and development, account management across certain key clients and driving efficient project delivery.
Rachel Capell, director at Lemon Lane said: “This is a very exciting time for Lemon Lane as our business continues to go from strength to strength hence why we needed to strengthen our teams across leadership, production and logistics.”
She added: “Our turnover increased by 25% in the latest financial year to reach £10M. And we are forecasting this to increase to £11.5M in the next financial year. We are incredibly proud of this achievement, given that we are a relatively new agency, which only launched in 2020. It’s evidence that our vision of building an agency that blends the rigorous processes of a large agency with the personalised touch of a boutique firm, whilst also bringing a fresh approach, is paying off.”
