This was only ever intended to be a short term position, covering off for management over the summer months. During this time I worked on increasing the volume of private functions, introduced staff management and training procedures, and introduced new products and revenue streams that helped generate overall increased gross profit. Within 6 months.

It was my focus to increase the turnover in these secondary.

Initially hired as the Venue Manager for a new site, after achieving my objectives and targets, I was transferred to the busier Ponsonby site, again as Venue Manager.

Hired as the General Manager, I had complete control of all business operations, excluding accounts. I negotiated with suppliers, organised promotions, maintained GP’s and dealt with all staff or licensing issues, amongst other daily operational activities. As my first General Manager’s role, I found it challenging, and ultimately very rewarding.
