The team at BU Events get things done; it’s that simple.

They are motivated, organised, and focused on creating inspiring events and festivals. Led by BU Events owner, Nicola de Lautour (Carter), one of the most highly-respected and accomplished event leads in the country.

Her passion for events was initially as a successful competitor, representing New Zealand in her chosen sport of Triathlon. Leaving Uni with a Degree in Sports Management and a blossoming career in events, public relations, sales and marketing; she was developing brands, opening stores, and editing magazines before choosing to focus on the delivering events, from conception to sales and delivery.

In 2015, Nicola shifted her focus to the arts. From her initial vision, she established and led the production team for the Taupo Winter Festival, a two-week arts and entertainment festival—now an annual event.

BU Events is the inevitable and exciting result of such a stellar career. It is the platform that gives her the vehicle to combine her incredible skills with her passion for helping people celebrate their lives and achieving their own goals.
