Jenny Monroe speaks to Ciara Allen event organiser

Ciara Allen, 27, runs the Inspired Events Co. a business which offers event planning and management services. She lives with her husband in Maghaberry and set up the business last year after following a life-changing illness.

Ciara, not being one to sit about all day, decided to use her good organising skills and put them to good use by setting up the events company which is going from strength to strength. As well as this Ciara has used her own experiences to help others by organising charity events - something which she is very passionate about.

There is always so much going on each day. How busy I am depends on what events have been booked in. Normally I start the day off from my ofﬁce in my house checking my emails and any correspondence from clients. I will spend time responding to emails and planning events if I’m not actually out on the ground working behind the scenes or looking at prospective venues.

From creation to logistics, organisation to pragmatics I cover it all. I could be helping with a corporate, business or personal event or presenting various fairs in aid of charity. I am very passionate about supporting those who support the most vulnerable in our society.
