Jun 2013 - Oct 2014
SEP Events specialise in event car parking, event traffic management, event signing, admissions and ticket sales at outdoor special events such as music festival, sporting fixtures, agricultural shows, flower shows, air shows and more. As part of my key responsibilities and duties I would help to create a safe and comfortable working environment for both employees and visitors of the event. In the case of an emergency situation or major incident I would direct emergency vehicles and other traffic until the area was clear, while producing accurate written reports for senior managers. I was confident enough to approach customers and offer them help, advice and information, yet when issuing warnings to owners of illegally parked vehicles always ensuring that I did so in a polite yet authoritative manner.
