20+ years experience making businesses look fabulous

The core members of Transform’s staff have been working together for over eight years.

We share a collective and collaborative nature, and this is embedded in the way we organise events and work together: we understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and support each other.

The focus is on delivering the event or exhibition on time and on budget and this ethos is embedded at Transform. This mindset only develops in an organisation over time, with trust, and at Transform we are lucky to have this. 

Meet the Team

  • Jabez Maclaren

    Director

    Jabez has been organising events since the tender age of 16, and has put on exhibitions and shows everywhere from Beijing to Moscow, Barnstable to Manchester . Jabez and his wife Michelle set up Transform in 2013. The company has thrived and blossomed under their leadership. 

  • Freddie Church

    Warehouse & Site Manager

    Freddie has been working with Transform since 2014. His production and delivery skills are outstanding, and he has delivered exhibitions and events all over Europe. A master at 3D visuals, he can design, produce and build sets of the highest order. This particular skillset is rare and means that when Freddie suggests an idea it will be delivered exactly as he envisaged it. 

  • Kirsty White

    Project Manager

    With an MA in Event Management and nearly a decade’s experience working backstage and on live events, Kirsty has developed a strong eye for precision and logistics, and a love for creative but efficient problem solving, whether that’s at speed on site, or planning for site success in the office. Kirsty has been working with Transform since early 2024, and is excited to see what the future holds with the team.

  • Ben Thompson

    Warehouse Assistant & Stand Builder

    Bio coming soon.

  • Skip Barden

    Warehouse Creative

    Skip has a background as a developer and illustrator. As a relatively new addition to the team, Skip immediately impressed us with her creative eye and vision. She has already constructed 3m floral chandeliers, built 12m-wide exhibition stands and created 2m-high Christmas bows. Skip thinks outside the box, which is a skill we value. 

  • Jean Worrall

    Seamstress

    Jean runs the white room with an iron fist, ensuring that the fabrics are steamed, pressed and ready for action. Her vast wealth of knowledge of voiles, velvets and blackout fabrics has ensured that Transform’s drapes are requested by top designers and event organisers.
