After working in a part-time role as a Game Master at EXIT during university, I was given the opportunity upon graduation of becoming operations manager.My main responsibilities have centred around the day to day running of the business. This includes managing our wonderful team, being the main point of contact for customers and making repairs and improvements to our escape rooms. In 2017 the marketing manager left the business and I also assumed his responsibilities, originally for a temporary period, however, has since become a full-time part of my role. Here I have developed our PPC strategy via Google AdWords, and I have worked on growing our social media following across multiple channels via both paid and organic methods, with our main platform being Facebook.I have also worked on our website via WordPress to improve readability and usability, and to help improve our SEO.The role continues to provide exciting challenges, particularly around the creation of new games and puzzles, as we look to expand further from 4 escape rooms to 6 this year.

Lumanare was a candle company founded by myself and some friends whilst studying Business Management at Northumbria University.Utilising the skills learned on our course, we created a business plan, developed the products and sold them online through our website, at local markets and to local stores. Lumanare provided a great introduction to the world of running a business, forcing us to solve production & logistic problems as well as giving me my first experience of sales and marketing.
