It all works out in the end!

March 5, 2014

Last week we had a very successful event, the unveiling of the plans for Nano Nagle Place, at South Pres on Douglas Street – an event that we at Fuzion and an initiative that the people of Cork can be proud of.

Even though everything went well on the day and was a great success there was months of preparation and organisation that went into the event and as a result, a number of sleepless nights on my end!

I’m a worrier by nature so organising the Nano Nagle Place event, was something that had me on my toes for the last few weeks.

With so much interest from the Presentation Sisters worldwide, the people of Cork, the media, local businesses, relevant organisations and the general public and so much to organise including invites, heating, lighting, speakers, recording, signage, photographers, media there was a lot of boxes that needed to be ticked for such an important and high profile event.

Luckily for me we worked closely with Michael O’Sullivan the CEO of South Presentation Centre Ltd and I had the Fuzion team on hand to jump in at any time and on the day we had all hands on deck.

I have organised many many events over the years but with each event comes new challenges, new faces, new ideas and new expectations and so for me each one is like my first. This can be both a good thing when the adrenaline kicks in and makes sure I don’t miss a beat and a bad thing as the nerves always seem to kick in.

The event was expertly MC’d by RTE’s Mary Kennedy, (who was as lovely in person as she comes across on TV) with the South Presentation old school hall filled with hundreds of people all eager to hear about the plans for Nano Nagle Place.
