The International Special Events Society (ISES) has appointed Craig Easeman, general manager of luxury corporate gift company ‘Happy Box London’, to the UK Chapter board as vice-president membership.

Easeman brings more than 15 years of event industry experience to the membership including previous roles in the corporate sector where he was responsible for the delivery of meetings, events and exhibitions.

He said: “For me ISES is the recognised body in the creative events industry. It’s where people who are passionate about the industry network, share knowledge and together build business. I am looking forward to assisting the team to continue to build our membership and share ideas for the development of the association over the coming months.”

Jonathan Byrne, ISES president and COO at the Royal Aeronautical Society, added: ”It is important that the ISES board represents a cross section of the creative events industry and Craig’s experience brings a great new dimension to our team.”

Easeman takes over the role following the departure of Natalie McDowall, who had to forego her board position earlier this month due to a change of job role.
