Our Story

Hello! We are Kerry and Dan and we met in Norfolk 8 years ago having both moved here from opposite ends of the country.

Between us we bring a whole heap of knowledge and experience to Epic Event Hire.

Having started out together in the weddings and events industry, we have enjoyed growing a reputable business and customer service ethic respected by many fellow businesses across Norfolk and Suffolk.

Meet The Team

Kerry Ellis

Director

I didn't join Epic, I created Epic; along with Mr Epic of course! In total this was about 8 years ago, but we have rebranded through growth during that time and now run two business; Epic Event Hire and Epic Gifts and Crafts.

I bring motivation and drive to the team as well as sharing my all round experience that I have developed over the years. It is my role to guide and nurture the team to the highest standards adding a sprinkle of fun factor too!

You can also find me at the end of emails, messages, phone calls and generally the face of Epic.

What I enjoy the most is the reward and feedback we receive from our happy customers. We work very hard to achieve the best so getting that positive contact at the end of a busy day helps push me on.

Dan Ellis

Director

Hi I'm Dan, (AKA Mr Epic).

Chloe Ellis

Operations Manager

I officially started work for Epic full time in August 2021, but as Kerry and Dan are my parents, Epic has been a part of my life since the very start. Previously a nurse, I really enjoy my new job as I love meeting new people and helping them to bring their vision to life. My mum has taught me her hard-working ethic and fine attention to detail which I apply to every event we do!

Hobbies: In my spare time I love creating diamond art

Fun Fact: I'm getting married in October this year!

Missy Dunning

Marketing & HR Manager

Hey, I'm Missy. I've been a part of Team Epic since October 2021. My focus is primarily Marketing and HR, but I also get to have input into design aspects, which makes good use of my creative skills too. I love the variety that Epic offers, no 2 days are the same and there are always opportunities to learn new things.

Hobbies: I love singing (others might not like listening though!), and anything arty.

Fun Fact: I crashed 3 times on driving lessons (but never since I passed 14 years ago!)

Alex Neath

Events Assistant

Hi, I'm Alex, I started working here in May 2021 and am Kerry's younger brother. I have 11 years of experience in graphic design, which comes in very handy for prop design. A large part of my time is spent out traveling to, setting up, and collecting from venues as well, and I love the variety of my role.

Hobbies: I really enjoy sports, mainly football and cricket.

Fun fact: I've broken 9 bones, but I'm still standing!

Hollie Etches

Events Assistant

Hi I'm Hollie and I joined Epic in May 2021, but as Kerry is my mum I've been a part of Team Epic since my teens, helping to dress chairs in sashes and drapes, (still one of my favourite tasks today!) Working with my family, seeing all the gorgeous venues Norfolk has to offer, and transforming people's ideas into a reality is what I love most about my job.

Hobbies: I like going to the gym and trying out local restaurants.

Fun Fact: I'm Yorkshire born and bred, but lived in Norfolk for 6 years now.

Kaley Grimson-Smith

Events Assistant

I joined Epic Event Hire in May 2021. Before I started working here I attended Access Creative College, and I studied an Event Production course and previous to this I studied to be a vocal artist. Being in the creative industry has always been a goal of mine and when college mentioned the role that was going at Epic, which involved a lot of the skills I had developed I was excited at where it could lead. Being a part of Epic means you get to go on a journey with the clients and bring there dreams to life, making there event perfect!

Hobbies: I love singing, I play guitar and write my own songs too!

Fun Fact: I've met a fair few celebs, working behind the scenes at festivals.

Imogen Davison

Freelance Designer

Hello, I'm Imogen.

Alongside my own wedding cake business, I have been freelancing at Epic since the rollercoaster year of 2020.

I poke my creative nose into many projects at Epic HQ but I have tended to gravitate more into the area of faux florals. My favourite part of the job is when a client comes to Epic with a bespoke floral request and I get to work out how I'm going to make it.

Hobbies: I love watching the birds in my garden and painting them onto cakes.

Fun Fact: I won the Gingerbread House Competition on Kirstie's Handmade Christmas on Channel 4 in 2020
