  • Dec 2021 - Apr 2023

  The Royal Hospital Chelsea has been the home of the iconic veterans of the British Army, the Chelsea Pensioners for over 325 years. Any former soldier of the British Army over the age of 65, who is facing spending their advanced years alone, can apply for residence as an In-Pensioner. Some 300 army veterans live at the Royal Hospital today, including those who have served in Korea, the Falkland Islands, Cyprus, Northern Ireland and World War II. Others may not have served in campaigns, but all understand what it means to be a soldier and the potential sacrifice that it entails. The Royal Hospital is a Grade I and II listed site, a beautiful architectural legacy left to us by Charles II and Sir Christopher Wren. Maintenance of the site continues today with ongoing restoration work to ensure that this legacy lives on into the future. As Event Manager I am responsible for selling the venue on site visits, creating relationships with new clients and thinking creatively. I communicate with key event stakeholders (CEO, suppliers & clients) via phone call, email and meetings. I work closely with our approved supplier list, which consists of a range of fantastic caterers/AV/florists for our events. I deliver end to end events management in a prestigious heritage venue, meaning there are a lot of considerations and care taken when managing each event. A huge privilege is being involved with Chelsea Flower Show, where we work alongside some amazing clients. I also manage the RHC Events Instagram account, posting weekly posts on the venue spaces & of recent events. Show less

  Founded in 1869, the Hurlingham Club is one of the most prestigious private Members' Clubs in the world.

Within its 42 acres lie 41 tennis courts, cricket pitch, 9-hole golf course, 6 croquet lawns, 2 bowls greens, state of the art Sports Centre, indoor and outdoor pools, children's playgrounds and a creche. Within the Georgian Clubhouse are 4 F&B outlets, a theatre, meeting rooms and extensive function and banqueting facilities.I actively managed six committees for members where I proposed, organised and ran events for each one, examples of typical events included summer balls, wine tastings, comedy nights, quiz evenings, cocktail making classes, children's activity camps etc. Managing multiple events at different scales requires considered planning and prioritisation to be able to deliver events to members with high expectations. Day to day I was responsible for creating budgets, working collaboratively with other teams e.g. marketing, food and beverage to ensure that an event is well attended and the dietary and drink requirements are met. During the events I oversaw and coordinated the format and execution and finally I reported and evaluated the success of the event internally and externally. I was also a key member of the team that organised the big three events at the Club, which are attended by up to 5,000 people yearly. My responsibilities typically centred around supplier management.During COVID we hosted a range of virtual events, some examples of the ones I organised were - cookalongs, children workshops, cocktail making & a distillery tour with Chase Distillery.
