Vicky Collins, 35, is the director of Wirral-based events company, White Events. She lives in West Derby, Liverpool. This is her working day

8am: I head to the office but start the morning with a run around West Kirby Marina, as it helps to wake me up and keep me focused for the day ahead. I like to get out and exercise on a daily basis if time and weather permits.

9am: Having had a quick orange juice and a bowl of cereal at my desk, it’s time to check my emails. There is a lot going on at the moment because, as well as delivering events for my clients, I am also running my own tennis event, The Classique.

As I have so many things on my to- do list, it can take a while to read through my in-box and reply to all my emails.

11am: I have just come off the phone with Aintree Racecourse. For the last few years, I have organised the Matalan Style Contest at The John Smith’s Grand National – it is fever pitch making sure that everything is finalised.

1pm: Usually, I like to go out and get a sandwich for lunch, but as I’m really busy selling tables for The Classique, I make myself a quick soup and hit the phones. We have recently signed Mark Philippoussis, so I’m really keen to let as many people know as possible.

2pm: Before setting off for my afternoon meetings, there is just time for me to make a quick phone call to my designer, Mark McKellier, of &Mark.

He is putting together the newsletter for The Classique, and needs information from me to make sure that it is aimed at professionals in the North West, who make up my target market. With a few tweaks here and there, it is almost ready to go out.

3pm: For several months now, I have been working with Mark Bennett, the chef at Mottram Hall, where The Classique is being held, to make sure that the menu is exactly right for each of the three days of the tournament.

Today is sadly the final tasting – it’s been so much fun pulling the menu together and particularly difficult to narrow down six delicious desserts to just three.

3.30pm: It’s time for my second meeting at Mottram Hall. The tennis courts take months of careful preparation to ensure that they look and feel as good as the ones at Wimbledon, so I need to touch base with Stuart Stenhouse, estate and golf course manager for the hotel.

5.30pm: I am back at the office to pick up my phone messages and check my emails.

I also call Richard Krajicek, another player at the tournament, to help him make his travel arrangements.

6pm: Time to leave the office, so I quickly get changed before heading to Liverpool Cricket Club.

I play tennis myself, which is one of the reasons I started my own tennis event.

It is a great way to unwind after a long day at the office, and a lot of fun when you are playing with friends.

8pm: I’m back at home. I have a quick shower before getting some food with friends at the Quarter.

10pm: It’s time for bed.

I have another packed day tomorrow.

One of the things I love most about my job is that every day always turns out different, with lots of new challenges and interesting people to meet.

Although I will doubtless be rushing around for the next few months in the run-up to this event, it is all part and parcel of the job and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
