Louise Hughes

I devised and manage the company Fresh Sound, which offers event management for private, charity and corporate events, as well as concerts and musical events. The other main strand is as an agency for outstanding professional musicians to offer for events.

I fundraise from both private donors and funding bodies for the charitable music foundation. This constitutes all levels of funding from core support for the organisation to small level individual projects e.g. performances and recordings. The applications and proposals I submit therefore cover a large range and I have a broad experience of various levels of funding proposals.

I had a varied role which included being in charge of sales, marketing, website design and brand delivery for New London Events, a corporate event management branch of the orchestra which I set up and managed after 2 months of working at the organisation. I also trained as and became the Fundraising Manager, so was in charge of managing the individual donors, researching areas of funding and approaching companies for corporate level support.
