Marquee Operations Manager
Meet Blaine, our Marquee & Warehouse Operations Manager. With an impressive 12 years at Hilton hotels across Australasia, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Since moving to Taupo in 2009, Blaine has fallen in love with the region and all that it offers.
His journey with Eventrent began in 2014, as he was keen to join his wife, Donna, to help grow the business. As the leader of the marquee and operations team, he expertly manages event logistics and operations, all while juggling finances and maintaining our stock range.
