Nicola Benge – Cultural Project Management

I am an experienced, professional project manager 

I am a long-term professional project manager and producer with extensive experience devising, facilitating and delivering cultural projects across sectors including educational, health, heritage and the arts.

My work involves collaboration and design with partners to manage projects, activities and events for successful delivery. In these roles, I am confident, well-networked, and skilled in engaging creatively with development, fundraising, partnerships and products.

I am accomplished in supporting and motivating organisations and groups through participation and outreach, whilst managing programmes to improve cultural heritage, engagement, and support social development.

Cultural Heritage

My work involves creating new events and themes to showcase this heritage with dynamic schemes to engage audiences. A key aim is developing and collating existing information and materials, whilst forming a strategy to encourage the celebration and promotion of arts and heritage and cultural quarters. 

I encourage participation and outreach through projects involving reminiscence, oral history, and archive material to involve a wide range of communities in creative activities.

I am successful in fulfilling outcomes through exhibitions, resources and events for national organisations and charities, using these skills and my enthusiasm and focus to inform my work as a producer.

“Thank you so very much for all you have done – for your organisational skills, your patience, your attention to detail … and your ability to corral! If we stand any chance of making this wonderful idea of a project into something bigger and wider, its success will depend on having someone just like you involved. I wish you luck and happiness in all that comes next and hope, very much, that our paths cross again soon.”

I worked with Nicola Benge on several projects during the centenary of the First World War. She was a highly regarded and trusted community partner, who created and managed a series of successful community heritage projects. Nicola is both professional and inspiring, and I would be keen to work with her again.”
