About me
I am a highly-motivated and results orientated manager within the events sector, I have a proven track record of providing exemplary levels of organisation and service to a broad range of clients and guests, including VIPs and high-profile individuals. This current job has enabled me to develop specific events coordination experience, but also a valuable and transferable skill set in this fast-paces sector. The opportunity has also allowed me to manage my own workload, take responsibility for personal and team targets and develop and maintain successful working relationships with both internal and external staff. With over five years experience in the events industry, I am very keen to further my development and expertise. My passion for food and drink, interest in marketing, design and customer interaction, business ideas and organisation skills all fuel my desire to choose the hospitality industry as a career.
