Becky Peake - Events Manager
 
From a strong sporting family, I suppose it was inevitable that I would find myself working for a sporting company. I had all intentions to follow a different career path; I am a qualified primary school teacher but a summer job working at Gloucester RFC led me to meet Gareth Chilcott. That was the summer of 1997, and in January 1999 I began full time employment for Gullivers as Gareth’s personal assistant.
 
Now 10 years on, I have enjoyed each varied year that my job has brought me; from UK corporate events to sporting tours on the other side of the world! My personal highlights include the Rugby World Cup final of 2003 -  need I say more?, a helicopter ride over Sydney, a segway sightseeing tour of Vienna and each and every time I step off a plane as it lands in Hong Kong, it always places a smile on my face -  truly my favourite destination to date.   
 
Being a born organiser (my dad is to blame for that gene) I love to get stuck into new and challenging events, none more so than in 2008 when I co-ordinated the Final Dinner for the Golden Oldies Rugby Festival in Edinburgh - 3000 people for a three course sit down meal. Day to day finds me organising functions which are to be held in New Zealand for Rugby World Cup 2011 and generally keeping tabs on Cooch and his daily movements! 
 
Outside of work I enjoy travelling and I have spent five weeks island hopping around Greece, countless European city breaks away and idyllic chilled out times in Thailand and delicious Mauritius. Never one to shy from a social scene, I can always be found chatting away with a cold white wine in hand.
