Experience

JUST CONSULTANCIES LTD

• United Kingdom
• Retail Apparel and Fashion
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Showroom sales assistant

  • Jul 2022 - Present

  I currently work with Just Consultancies as part of my internship for my placement year at Manchester Metropolitan University. I am involved with assisting the sales team with appointments and making sure the showroom is organised. Another key part of my internship is using social media to research potential brands to exhibit at the tradeshows. Linking closely to my Events management course I am also going to be immersed into the planning process of the AW23 tradeshows which are held in Manchester and London.



Peru perdu

• Host

  • Oct 2021 - Nov 2022

  I worked at Peru Perdu since October 2021 as a Host. From July 2022 I worked at the restaurant as a part-time placement for my sandwich year. Working as a host in a restaurant has improved my social skills and forced me to problem solve under pressure. My placement at the restaurant also consists of helping with the events at the venue which can range from corporate events to weddings. This experience helped me in the events industry as it taught me how to organise large groups of people and work as part of a team. I enjoyed working as a host and I think I learnt important attributes that will further assist me in the events management career such as patience, resilience and most of all strategy thinking.



The Modern Family Show 2021

• Volunteer

  • Sep 2021 - Sep 2021

  Volunteered at The Modern Family show at the end of September 2021. This exhibition was held in London at The Grand hotel. My role was managing the main stage for guest speakers and ensuring they would be on stage at the time allocated to them and had all the props and equipment they needed. This was great experience for me as I had to use my organisational skills and show initiative for example if some speakers exceeded their time limit I had to figure out how to get back on track with timings.
