About Us…
SBEM prides itself on its mission statement:- Excellence is not a skill. It’s an attitude…. Something brought to the company by its director and continued by all the staff that have represented us to date.
Sally Ball
Director
The company was founded by Director Sally Ball. Sally has over 30 years experience in the event and hospitality industry. After gaining invaluable previous experience in the airline industry and leaving at a senior level, SBEM was the start of a new chapter.
Sally has managed a variety of corporate sporting events at Twickenham, Lords, The Oval and Open Golf tournaments. She has worked on the prestigious EBRD in cities around Eastern Europe as well as Staffing the Ryder Cup at Belfry providing VIP Hospitality – and every event managed with the skill and satisfaction of the clients that has become synonymous with SBEM.
A few of Sally’s greatest achievements to date have been project managing two contracts at the 2012 London Olympics: Cisco House & Panasonic 3D HD Theatre, as well as becoming an Official staffing supplier at ExCel London, and keeping strong ties with all her clients that she has built up through the years. With Sally’s level of expertise and knowledge she has created a company and given it the best possible platform to progress, adapt and grow in the events world.
When asked how she manages to achieve such high standards, use her skill set to succeed, and impart knowledge onto the staff, she simply replies….”I love my job!”
Myles Ball
Operations Manager
In 2008 Myles embarked on his events journey, working on various campaigns and sporting events for a number of agencies around the UK and abroad. He enjoyed the freedom self-employment gave but decided to give a 9-5 office job a go. He worked for an investment company for 2 and a half years where he learnt new skills and improved on old ones but something was missing. He missed the buzz and variety the events industry. A change was needed…
He began working full time for SBEM in June 2014 in administration and has steadily progressed upwards to Operations Manager. He manages client relations from inception to event success, and ensures SBEM delivers the golden standard time after time. Although he is still behind a desk for a majority of the day, he goes onsite for large events and the sunny ones abroad!
Outside work hours Myles is a keen photographer and tag rugby player. He enjoys a challenge and pushing himself to the limit.
Emily Melluish
Staffing Manager
Before joining SBEM, Emily worked as a teacher, where she developed all important communication, organisation and people skills! With previous experience in luxury hospitality, she enjoys roles that are people-focused, fast-paced and involve working as a team to deliver the best possible service.
She met Myles on the tag rugby pitch in 2023, and when the opportunity to join the team at SBEM came up she leapt at the opportunity. She works as Staffing Manager, making sure all events have the perfect team to bring them to life and make them the best they can possibly be.
