SPARK THINKING expands team with experienced production manager following series of new business wins

Full service events and communications agency, SPARK THINKING, has expanded its team with the appointment of new production manager, Alex Doughty. 

With a Sound, Lighting and Live Event Technology degree from Derby University, and an expansive career background which includes experiential exhibition and stage design, and a technical production role for retail giant Westfield, thirty-two-year-old Alex joins the team at a time when new and repeat business has led to a particularly busy period for the award-winning agency. 

As production manager for SPARK THINKINGand its healthcare specialist sister brand, Ashfield Meetings & Events(part of UDG Healthcare plc), Alex will be responsible for the technical delivery of some of the larger global events that have become synonymous with the SPARK and Ashfield brands. 

“I’m really looking forward to channeling my experience into creating something really special for our clients,” says Alex. “SPARK THINKING encourages clients to explore all ideas, be creatively confident and brave in their decision-making – an ethos I believe in whole-heartedly as I’ve witnessed some incredibly powerful events that have followed this path.”

Dan Walker, SPARK THINKING’s Head of Live Events, agrees that Alex is a welcome addition to the team. 

Dan said “Alex’s broad experience and passion for the industry will only reinforce our talented team and I’m looking forward to reflecting his technical expertise and unique creative thinking in our ideas and delivery for clients.”
