- Moxie Management• A few likeminded associates and I founded an artist development and management company to learn first-hand how live entertainment, social media and management of a grass roots act is done. • Liaising with festivals and venues to secure bookings and increasing social media awareness of an act and further engage existing audiences; were part of the experience I found particularly satisfying when completed successfully. • As of July the Moxie Management team disbanded however from our efforts I gained an understanding of the value of working with a group of contemporaries whose skillset and capabilities were so different from my own. My ability to see the value in any viable venture has improved enormously after working as part of this team.

Relief Manager & Bar Staff
-
• As relief manager my role included the day to day running of the bar, the delegation of duties to staff, stock control, and administration as well as accounting. I was able to use my skills and initiative to cut administration and stock control processes by 30% whilst still delivering the high standard expected of Samuel Smith.
• I chose this role for the opportunities it brought me to develop my interpersonal skills. Being in charge of a small number of staff allowed me to learn about the intricate dynamics of a service industry team and how managing this effectively creates the best possible experience for both customers and staff alike.
• In my role I also undertook promotion for the brewery. As part of this I utilised my knowledge of social media to create an online presence that could reach as many potential customers as possible. We also kept close ties with the local community to further any promotional opportunities and enhance our reputation. This sometimes involved liaising with council and police for certain events.
