Recognized as one of the most respected figures in live entertainment production across the UK and Europe, Yvonne serves as Director of Music Lighting and is a vital member of PRG’s senior leadership team. Her deep understanding of artists’ needs and strategic investments help ensure PRG’s continued growth and success.
A 2024 Pollstar Women of Live! Honoree, Yvonne is celebrated for her contributions to the live events sector and her influential leadership across some of the industry’s most high-profile productions.
Based between PRG’s Birmingham and London offices, Yvonne leads and mentors a team of specialists focused on festivals, touring, and large-scale events. Her expertise spans music touring, festivals, and global one-off productions, contributing to many of the UK’s premier events and television broadcasts.
Yvonne’s impressive portfolio includes landmark events such as Abu Dhabi National Days; Formula 1 and Formula E races in Saudi Arabia; British Summertime Festival, Capital Summertime Ball, Download Festival (Donington), Isle of Wight Festival, Led Zeppelin reunion, Live 8, London Olympic Games Hyde Park concerts, MDL Beast/Soundstorm in Saudi Arabia, Nelson Mandela’s 80th birthday celebrations, and the Taylor Hawkins tribute event.

The main stage was so vast it took two minutes to cross.
