We’re delighted to welcome Oluwaseun Ake to the Leas Lift team as our new Events & Marketing Placement Student.

Oluwaseun joins us from the University of Kent, where he is currently completing an MSc in Marketing. During his placement, he’ll be supporting a wide range of activities across the project – from event planning and management to marketing campaigns, retail development, and communications.

With a strong background in event planning, social media management, and marketing communications, Oluwaseun brings valuable experience. His professional experience also spans advertising, public relations, and customer service, working across sectors including broadcast, hospitality, and the civil service.

Oluwaseun is passionate about connecting communities through culture, creativity, and storytelling – values that align perfectly with the Leas Lift’s mission to bring people together through heritage. He’s particularly interested in brand management, events marketing, and audience engagement, and is excited to put his skills into practice as part of our growing team.

We’re thrilled to have him on board as we head into an exciting new phase of the Leas Lift’s restoration and reopening journey. Welcome to the team, Olu!
