We are excited for you to meet the wonderful Holly and Iona (and their furry friends) who have recently joined the Story Team!
Here’s a brief insight into who they are…
Holly Mann – Events Director
Who are you?
I’m delighted to be joining the Story team as Event Director and bring over 8 year’s event management experience, with a background in luxury catering and unique venues. I love receiving a complex brief to get stuck in to and delivering beyond expectations!
Top Tip
There is always a solution!! Sometimes you just have to get creative to find it.
Proudest Event Moment
This is very hard to choose. I’ve been lucky enough to work in some incredible venues and I love seeing how a space is transformed for an event. One of my favourites has to be transforming an industrial warehouse into a totally immersive enchanted forest theme, where almost everything was edible – even the trees!
Favourite thing to do outside of work.
If I’m not planning my next travel adventure, I’m cooking for friends, trying new restaurants or escaping to the countryside to spend time with my golden retriever – Milo!

Iona McKitterick – Account Executive
Who are you?
I am so excited to join the Story team as an Account Executive. I have a wonderful background within catering, hotels and events and love nothing more than working with my clients to bring their dream event to life!
Top Tip
Make sure to do at least 1 thing you love each day!
Proudest Event Moment
There are so many to choose from as I have been fortunate enough to work in some fantastic venues with amazing clients. The best moment for me has got to be building, nurturing and maintaining a relationship with a wonderful client who contracted an extravagant 4-day conference and reception event to the venue in 5 days of receiving the brief. It was amazing to see the joy on the client’s face when this event came to life.
Favourite thing to do outside of work.
Going to a pub garden with my friends, Nando’s with my boyfriend or on walks with my family and dogs.
