OUR STORY SO FAR

Let us introduce ourselves

John is our founder here at Oxford Events and ruler of the roost, he is a self-confessed food fanatic, wander-luster and chef extraordinaire, with energy to rival anyone! However, having studied Mechanical Engineering at Loughborough university, you mustn’t be fooled by his playful ways.

A proud Yorkshireman, John has lived in Africa, Asia and Australasia. He loves to travel on and off the beaten track, finding event inspiration from exquisite and extraordinary locations. John’s events are delivered with complete professionalism, precision and amazing grace every time and with his utterly charming attitude. If you want perfection, he’s your man.
