Our Story

Welcome to The Big White Coach Events Company founded in 2019 and created by Gail Walker and family which provides mobile sensory and wellbeing environments and creative activity experiences for all event types in Northern Ireland and Ireland

Welcome, let’s start at the beginning of the story, my name is Gail Walker and I am the founder and creator of The Big White Coach Events company which is a mobile sensory environment and creative activity service working in the events industry since 2019.

I am a wife, entrepreneur and artist. With my educational degree in creative imaging in hand, experience, passion and a zest for life, I embarked on a successful career in the arts as a graphic designer and marketer in the events industry that spanned over 20 years. My professional journey and achievements is impressive, but my true calling was yet to be revealed to me.

In the delicate tapestry of my life and family I became a mother in 2014 with my son and again in 2017 with my daughter, this was and still is the most amazing experience of my life. On the journey of motherhood I discovered a new unexpected path, this happened when my son was diagnosed with autism aged three. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of an extraordinary transformation in me in understanding Autism and Neurodiversity – one that lead me from the bustling world of marketing and the arts to a passionate mission for neuro inclusivity and acceptance not only for my family but so many others. This allowed me to not only use all of my life and educational experience to date but allow for the journey of new experiences.

Having felt firsthand the isolation that often accompanies the absence of neuro inclusive considerations in public spaces and events. I, my family and staff are changing the narrative. From community events to birthday parties, school visits to parent support I am determined to ensure that no family has to experience the heartache of leaving early or staying home due to lack of accessibility and missing out on life experiences to the best of my and my teams ability.

As a mother, I do wear many, many hats but with grace and determination I do try my best daily. I adore and love my children, husband and extended family but balancing the unique dynamics of raising a child who is autistic and nurturing my young daughter’s growth and understanding of autism and others can be challenging at times, but every day, I walk the challenging yet beautiful path of fostering understanding and harmony within my family unit and others.
My dual role as an entrepreneur and a devoted mother and wife is testament to the transformative impact one person can have on their community when fuelled by love and purpose.

Making my community and other communities more accessible by providing sensory and wellbeing experiences and creative activities at all event types is at the heart of The Big White Coach Events Company. All staff who work with or for The Big White Coach Events also share this passion and mission.

I hope you will be part of the growth and story of The Big White Coach Events. Please have a look around the rest of the website and if you have any questions please do get in touch
