Mitchells of Lancaster

• Design and Marketing Assistant

  • Oct 2011 - Jan 2018

  My primary role involves producing menus, posters, flyers and other marketing and POS (Point of Sale) paraphernalia as and when required by the pubs that are owned/run by the company This often occurs at short notice or with a very short turn around time, so it helps that I can prioritise tasks to make sure that everyone gets what they need on time. In addition to this, I also help to organise events, book in adverts with local newspapers, keep track of printer maintenance and place stationary orders. I try to divide my time so that each task gets done in the correct order and finished to a high standard, but I also make sure that I have enough flexibility to help others with their work to take the pressure off during difficult and stressful periods.
