Sue Duncan
Beauty and the boss
Sue's charm offensive should have been the main US tactic in Vietnam. It gets things done, gets everyone onside and doesn't use chemicals. It's just chemistry.
Soirée's founder and heavyweight in event experience, Sue injects the right elemental mix into a gig, show, launch or conference. You let her lead, she never misses a step. If she does, she just invents a better one (sometimes with a high kick). You want her on your side.
Mel Gimblett
The smiling assassin
Laughing helps Mel deal with stress. But she never stresses so she just laughs for the hell of it. Soirée's resident diplomat blonde, Mel's extraordinary colour and character takes the "mean" out of demeanour and pumps positive power into the extraordinary events she creates.
Angel and trojan rolled into one, Mel works the warm fuzzies into the most unlikely places. Even that marlin she reeled in was smiling before she let him go. You want her on your side.
Sarah Quinn
Lean green machine
Sar makes Gandhi look shifty. A straight talker and smooth operator, Soirée's sustainability ambassador (she invented "Sar-stainability") often pulls off the stunts the TV says you shouldn't try at home. Who says you can't do them at work?
Creating multinational extraordinary events on a Friday, she'll be pulling paua off the coast two days later. Trilingual, Sar speaks Wairarapian, Aucklandese, and IT. She is happy to translate. You want her on your side.
Lauren Butler
Power of perfection
Precision in all things makes Lauren a powerful ally - a useful trait for creating seamless extraordinary events. She etched gridlines onto her desk to ensure uniform stationery placement, and leads a remarkable detail-driven quality in Soirée's portfolio of talent.
Known to match her sharp eye for chaos with a creative flair in all things made and baked, Lauren's uncanny ability to choreograph ducks into a row (evenly spaced) puts her constantly one step ahead of trouble. You want her on your side.
Shirl Dickson
Voodoo mathematician
Shirl formulated the first Zen function in spreadsheet technology. Soirée's accounts guru, earth mother and Buddha babe, she makes the numbers work. Bringing in budget on every front, Shirl's back office operations at Soirée are the blueprint for NASA mission control.
Behind the front line at every step, Shirl backs every extraordinary event in the Soirée repertoire with a watertight bottom line, a careful and practised eye for detail, and a hot cuppa when required. She's on our side, and you want us on your side.
