Wildfire welcomes back account manager

Sheffield-based events specialist Wildfire has welcomed Eleisha Pashley back to the business as account manager.

Eleisha began her career with Wildfire after studying event management at Sheffield Hallam University, working on-site and helping deliver events directly.

She returns after four years working with other event agencies, where she gained experience primarily across venue finding and accommodation management.

In her new role, she will move from on-site delivery into designing and planning experiences for clients, drawing on her understanding of different stages of the events process.

Eleisha said: “I actually started my career right here at Wildfire, so it feels really good to bring that extra industry experience back to where it all began.

“I spent my early days working on-site running the events directly. 

“Coming back to design and plan them feels like a natural step. 

“It’s much easier to shape a great experience when you’ve been hands-on delivering it.

“I landed in the corporate events industry right out of university and quickly fell in love with the sheer variety. 

“Lots of places say no two days are the same, but here you genuinely get to be creative every single day; one moment you’re planning a historic dinner in London, and the next you’re setting up a country pursuit in Yorkshire.”

She added: “I want to take care of our clients and look after the long-standing relationships Wildfire has built over its 30 years in business.

“I’m still relatively early in my career, so I want to keep pushing myself, pick up new skills, and take on bigger creative challenges as the business grows.”

Eleisha’s appointment comes as Wildfire pursues a three-year growth vision, which Eleisha says was a key factor in her decision to return.

Wildfire delivers bespoke corporate events across the UK and has one of Europe's largest collections of party props and equipment.

Nathan Angus, chief executive at Wildfire, added: “We’re really pleased to welcome Eleisha back to Wildfire. 

“Having started her career with us, she already understands our business, our clients and the way we work, but she’s also gained valuable experience over the last four years.

“That combination makes her a great fit for the role. 

“She brings a fresh perspective, and a strong understanding of what clients need, while already having a real connection with the team and the Wildfire way of doing things. 

“We’re looking forward to seeing her continue to develop and play an important role as the business moves into its next stage of growth.”
