To assist the Business Planning team in day-to-day activities.

Ensuring the smooth day to day running and development of a Public House whilst working closely with theowners of the business and ensuring effective communication between staff members. The main areas inwhich I done this included: Researching competitors in the locality and devising a strategy to ensure we attracted our target market. This was done by improving the facilities, careful pricing and an accurate choice of promotions. I investigated each aspect of the business in relation to costs and sought a reduction without a fall in service delivery. I negotiated with current suppliers and changed suppliers where required. Promoting the venue for functions such as parties, christenings, fundraisers and meeting with clients to organise these events to ensure all requirements were met and positive word of mouth followed.

Alongside my studies and work positions I held the role of administrator within the family constructionbusiness. This role entailed: The preparation of estimates, invoices, tender documents and other areas of administration as required. Creating my own filing system that was fit for purpose and ensured all company legalities and taxation requirements were met. Some marketing in creating a new letterhead with logo, business cards and the creation and management of a company email to correspond with customers and suppliers.

Running a twenty room guesthouse with a particular focus on business development due to the previous poorreputation of the accommodation. Key areas in which I developed the business included: Modernising the accommodation focused on guest needs to improve the quality of the service offering. Working with a variety of businesses in the locality including the Tullamore Chamber of Commerce to support events and festivals in the town which in turn generated business. Increasing turnover for week-nights by negotiating preferential rates and added services, such as providing an evening meal, with relevant large organisations in the town. Companies which I done this with included Tullamore General Hospital and PT McWilliams who built the Tullamore by-pass and needed accommodation for their workers which resulted in a contract worth 29,850 to the business.

Working in a small team of four with the responsibility of looking after the top one hundred accounts of one ofthe largest parcel delivery companies in Ireland. Areas in which I gained experience included: Preparing internal reports and communicating the findings to key account holders. Managing queries from clients and finding a resolution to any problems which arose in keeping with a customer focused approach. To improve efficiency I updated the team's database to ensure all names and contact details were relevant and correct for our client base.
