One of the key figures at a multi award winning, globe-trotting events business has struck out alone for an audience a little closer to home.

Bonnie May, who will continue to serve as Global Operations Director of award-winning Chesham-based Global Infusion Group, has now launched Bonnie May Events – to help people and businesses across the region hold their celebrations in style.

For more than 25 years Bonnie and her team have fed many of the biggest names in show business and catered major functions around the world including Royal weddings and Olympic Games. But last month she launched her new business as a celebrations specialist aiming to focus on creating world class weddings, parties and corporate events.

Functions will be planned by Bonnie and her dedicated team who have a wealth of experience garnered from providing years of catering and logistics support to showbiz superstars, rock stars and global events.

Speaking at the official launch of Bonnie May Events at The Berkeley Gallery in Berkhamsted last month, Bonnie, who’s business will remain in Chesham, said: “You are probably thinking that if there is all this great business out there, in what is very often perceived to be a pretty glamorous and exciting environment, why have I decided to now focus my attention on an audience a little closer to home? Life out on the road is great, big and very exciting projects that take you away for weeks on end are good for the ego, and often for the bank account – but two and a half decades of planning and often partying on an international platform can take a bit if a toll, and the very thought of not lugging that suitcase around so often is very appealing.

“So, being in the very fortunate position that I am, and with a wealth of creative and event know-how, the next phase of my career has not been as tricky as I thought to plan – transferring what I have done on a global platform to something a little more local. It’s exactly the move I wanted, and with a little help from a few local – now – friends, Bonnie May Events was born.”
