Maugie Lyons has a strong background in unique venue management and has a passion for sustainability in all areas of business.
Managing heritage venues such as the Art Deco Lawrence Hall and the 1914 Lindley Hall for the RHS she has been involved at all stages of business and building redevelopment. Of particular pride is the initiative of a plastic free zero carbon café at The Glasshouse Wisley.

Feasibility studies and CSR plans always embrace inclusion and diversity.
Maugie also has extensive experience of preparing launch plans, developing marketing and brand strategy, enabling teams to convert and deliver event sales.
