I worked my way to supervisor and was offered the role of assistant manager however I decided to join Revolution because I believed the training program was better suited to further developing my management skills/career.

Liquid/Envy was a fantastic opportunity to work in a busy and high paced environment, Luminar would regularly hold special events for students meaning I gained experience working in several other sites across the country as a result. I worked my way up to trainee assistant manager, Unfortunately Liquid/Envy Swindon was one of the venues closed when the company went into administration in 2011.

Edwards nightclub was my first bar job, it was closed after Xmas and I was transferred to O’Neill’s/Reflex. I spent 3 years working in both the retro 80’s nightclub Reflex and the Irish bar and restaurant of O’Neill’s. I really loved working in both environments, and gained a lot of experience working with the bar/kitchen as well as organising monthly live music events. I worked closely with management with the hopes to progress but unfortunately the site was sold in 2009.
