Max SteventonThe Occasionall Group, which provides event staffing solutions, has made changes to its leadership structure.
Managing director Josh Heyburn is moving into a new role as lecturer in event management at Buckinghamshire New University. At the same time, long-time team member Natalie Evans has been promoted to people and culture director.
The shift, effective from today, marks a transition in responsibilities. Heyburn will remain involved with The Occasionall Group as founding director, focusing on leadership and continuing to support during peak event seasons. Evans will take on day-to-day leadership responsibilities, with a focus on staff and operational management.
The company said the changes are designed to ensure continuity for clients and staff.
Heyburn said, “This shift marks a new chapter, not a departure. Becoming Founding Director allows me to focus more intentionally on strategic leadership, while starting a new role as a Lecturer in Event Management – a space where I hope to bring industry insights to the classroom, while also bringing a fresh perspective back into the business.”
Evans said, “I’m honoured to step into the role of People & Culture Director at The Occasionall Group. Working alongside Josh to grow this business has been an incredible journey. My priority now is to ensure that our team and clients continue to feel fully supported – there will be no change to the level of excellence our clients expect from TOG.”
