My role as the Operations Manager is to oversee the day to day operations of CADS with a specific focus on studio and space rentals. Our available studios interchange on a weekly basis with a moderate turnover of new tenants to long standing tenants. I conduct viewings of the properties and then discuss and complete contracts for the spaces. Due to this, I build good, strong relationships with our clients and am their first point of contact.Furthermore, I am heavily involved with CADS business development. I have high input in strategic planning, funding applications, research and finalising documents and meeting face to face with potential investors. I attend regular events and meetings in South Yorkshire in order to network, or to do presentations about CADS. I work with our Director, Steve Rimmer, on decision making for future project developments and financial planning. I have also created relationships with important and influential organisations in Sheffield such as Sheffield University, whilst researching and connecting with different avenues for CADS to progress with it's mission to support the arts and creativity in Sheffield.
