Comprehensive training is also provided to ensure that each coordinator is fully equipped to succeed and uphold the high standards of Leigh & Co. Events. Candidates must bring at least two years of relevant experience, exceptional communication skills, a detail-oriented mindset, and physical ability to lift and carry items weighing up to 30 pounds.
