Our Story

Hello! We are Kerry and Dan and we met in Norfolk 10 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 10 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

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!

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

Lauren Oliver

Fun Fact - I was once on You've Been Framed as a young child!

Hi, I’m Cole, I started here august 2022. I’ve known Kerry and Dan for many years as I was their next door neighbour, and I used to help sometimes with set ups back in 2018.

Hi I’m Tracey , I started working at Epic in July 2022, I’ve known Kerry and Dan for many years now and occasionally helped them out with ironing and event set ups when they first started in the event industry. My main role at Epic is ensuring everything is clean, ironed and ready for all events, but I also get involved in the setting up within the venues. Oh and recently took over the responsibility of making sure everyone is topped up with caffeine ( mainly for Dan!).
