Having been willing to work in any department to learn the business I took over the role of Catering Supervisor for a hotel in Jersey for three months understanding more about stock control and budgets.The final year, having been promoted to Financial Controller of a subsidiary of Waterside Holidays in the Lake District, involved running the payroll, ledgers, all revenue streams and some new capital projects. It was a huge learning curve working alongside the General Manager in the day to day running and also working with the marketing and promotions teams over the winter months to endorse the brand and public awareness through travel agents and company travel clubs in the north east of England.
