In this episode, we’re joined by Nick Mansfield-Stuthridge, Senior Manager for Projects, Events and Creative Services at Admiral Group, and Catherine Southall, Business Development Manager at American Express GBT.
Nick leads an in-house events team at Admiral Group, one of the UK’s most distinctive people-first organisations, where culture isn’t just a word on a wall. It’s the brief. Across 15 years with the company, he has shaped events that connect colleagues to purpose, from major leadership conferences to creative colleague experiences that bring Admiral’s culture to life.
Nick shares what it means to build events from the inside out, understanding the people, the behaviours and the business narrative before a single idea takes shape. He reflects on the joy of watching a concept evolve from a post-it note scribble to a living, breathing experience, and why developing his team is one of the most rewarding parts of the role.
He also speaks to what the industry demands of those entering it: genuine curiosity, a willingness to say yes to every opportunity, and the resilience to pivot with positivity when, not if, things change at the last minute.
Thoughtful, grounded and quietly passionate, Nick offers a refreshing perspective on what great in-house events leadership really looks like.
