Sep 2012 - Oct 2013
Supporting the company directors, I assisted in the delivery of a range of outdoor events throughout the year. My primary focus during this time was the management of our premium drinks service provision at Combermere Abbey, the outstanding wedding venue in Cheshire. Looking after 60+ weddings per year, working closely with the Brides & Grooms to put together a drinks package which suited their tastes and budgets, hosting quarterly wine tastings at the venue and managing the on-site delivery of the drinks and evening bar service with a small team of staff.
