As Deputy Manager it was my responsibility for the day to day running of the business in the absence of the general manager.

Sep 2005 - Feb 2008
My main roles at Storthes Hall Park as supervisor of the conference and banqueting department involved assisting the manager in developing and attracting new business, coordinating conferences to customer's specifications, organizing staff rotation and managing a small team of people at the events. Through working in high-pressured environments of kitchens and with challenging clients I have developed awareness for customer service management and generally remaining calm under pressure.
