My many duties included finding speakers, researching the sector to create the programmes, although I was also responsible for all areas of event management and administration, (organising accommodation and visas, acting as host for the speakers and delegates on the day, etc).

  My main responsibility was to transmit live subtitles for Sky News, the news channel of the year. It was a role which required an excellent knowledge and understanding of domestic and foreign affairs as well as the ability to work in a team, and independently, to half-hour deadlines. The role involved detailed research, proof reading, bulletin coordination and training of new staff. Whilst at the company, I also was involved in providing Russian to English subtitles for another satellite programme, The Russian Hour. My work at Sky involved an intensive rolling shift pattern of three 12-hour days on, three days off. These days off allowed me to take on interpreting assignments and increase my knowledge of commodity markets by working at Bunkerworld
