Petrok “Rocky” Rickard
Rocky, originally from Cornwall, moved to London to study Special Effects Design, and afterwards fell into hospitality management. Having worked with some of the biggest names and groups in the industry such as JKS, ETM, and Street Feast for over 15 years, he is used to managing large groups of people and multiple venues simultaneously and has helped to run many key events in the hospitality calendar.
After many years in operations management, he knows the importance of creating the right atmosphere and getting the minute details correct helps to ensure smooth running of any event. To him the key things are communication, managing expectations and having the right people in the right places.
He has always been a lover of all music, especially classical, pop and rock, and is a singer in his spare time. He is also a keen artist and photographer and uses his design and creative skills to assist the JW and Exigo DJ team with press kits, logos, websites and more.
Rocky still teaches the odd cocktail masterclass and has also launched his own hospitality consulting & graphic design business, Arcanum Consulting & Design. When he is not working, he can be found rustling up new cocktail recipes, enjoying many glasses of good wine, beer and other glorious tipples whilst rolling in the mud with his white swiss shepherd, Flint and his new puppy, Willow.
