MEET THE TEAM
DAVE FITZGERALD – OWNER & MANAGING DIRECTOR
If Lashings is a touring circus (with cricket and corporate events), Fitz is the ringmaster. He’s the one juggling clubs, speakers, sponsors, venues and timelines while making it all look suspiciously calm. On the road he’s all momentum and problem-solving; off it, he’s usually talking himself into “one more round” of golf… despite the golf ball’s strong objections.

SIMON BATES – HEAD OF PARTNERSHIPS
Simon is the calm, numbers-first brain that keeps Lashings flying in a straight line; budgets balanced, forecasts sensible, and the business side running smoothly behind the scenes. But he’s far from “just finance”: Simon has a real knack for bringing the right business partners to the table, building relationships properly, and spotting the kind of opportunities that make sense long-term.

Suzi is the reason you’ve heard of it, shared it, and then remembered it. She’s always chasing the next big idea – the kind that turns an event into a story people want to be part of. Expect energy, creativity, and a relentless eye for detail.
