Meet Ben Veitch & The Creatives Bridge
Where production strategy meets creative sensitivity
Ben Veitch is a Creative Operator with deep experience in the performing arts. He understands that creative projects live in a unique space where artistic vision and operational excellence must coexist.

Testimonials
Goldy’s - WUNDERBAR
Nerida Groth
" I had a big vision for Wunderbar, and Ben helped bring it to life. He worked closely with each artist, listening carefully and translating their ideas into lighting that truly matched their vision. His structure, planning, and calm presence gave the whole night a solid backbone. With so many moving parts, and such huge production value, I’m not sure what I would’ve done without him."
Event Manager at Burleigh Pavilion & The Tropic
Kath Gourley
" As a creative professional, I know how crucial it is to have a solid project management team behind you. The right project manager can transform a vision into reality, ensuring that all the moving parts of a creative project come together seamlessly.
If you need help to stay organized, on schedule, and focused on what matters most—your creativity, then I highly recommend getting Ben on board."
Goldy’s Wunderbar event
Scott Ogier
"Ben Veitch was an invaluable part of our recent Goldy’s Wunderbar event, stepping in to oversee pre-visualisation and develop the overall lighting look for the gig. His contribution was not only technically excellent but also served as a timely reminder of how crucial it is to have someone in operations who can seamlessly bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution.
That link is so often overlooked—and yet, it can be the difference between success and failure in events, theatre, and across the entertainment industry. Ben brings a wealth of experience, a calm and collaborative presence, and, most importantly, an intuitive understanding of both creative language and technical requirements. He has a rare ability to translate artistic concepts into practical, achievable outcomes without compromising the original vision.
I would work with Ben again in a heartbeat."
