Celebrity Events Planner and brand consultant, Liz Taylor sits down with another leading entrepreneur to discover the events that led them to their success. Jennie Johnson shares with Liz how she left her job to create Kids Allowed, a one stop shop for parents and their childcare needs. Not satisfied with the level of service that even those with the relevant qualifications could provide, Jennie decided to set up her own training scheme, for which she would be later awarded an MBE.
Then came her second business…
Liz Taylor's 30-year career in event planning has built an impressive portfolio of events, including celebrity weddings, charity fundraisers like Children in Need with Gary Barlow and huge gala dinners such as Winter White Gala at Kensington Palace for HRH Duke of Cambridge, as well as the Manchester United Champions League winning party in Moscow and Coronation Street's 40th anniversary celebrations. During lockdown, with the events industry on hold, she turned her attention to launching her own consultancy and realised a lifelong ambition in launching her own podcast.
