Expanding exhibitions. Unlocking markets. Driving growth.

 With over 25 years of international experience, Butter Consultancy & Events connects organizers, suppliers, and investors to new opportunities worldwide.

We specialize in identifying growth potential, validating concepts, and building strategies that turn exhibitions into thriving, future-proof platforms.


Due to my strong connection with my own region, West-Friesland, I’m eager to leverage my experience to assist local entrepreneurs in achieving success and growth. This could range from temporary management roles to crafting business plans or aiding in marketing communication.
