In this job, I was working at the Cribbs Christmas with Paddington event at Cribbs Causeway. I was based in the Reception and Meet and Greet areas, so my main duties included welcoming people, checking families in, time management, and organisation of the groups. All customers had a specific slot they were booked into so we had to organise the people into certain areas to make sure everything ran smoothly. Due to the nature of the event, with it being for children, there were occassions where times ran over so I had to make sure I was keeping track of the time, how often people where going through and if they were in the correct groups. I also able to learn more about how to deal with disgruntled customers when things were running late. Overall, this has been a great experience for me to work in a fast-paced event where timing is key, so I have been able to build on my skills.

I worked as a Traffic/Event Marshall for the G7 conference that was held in Carbis Bay, Cornwall in 2021. I worked at the security site at the local rugby club as the first point of contact on the entry gate as a marshall. This meant that I was acting as an unofficial information point for the local area as well as the the sites of the conference itself. I was there through the build up, the conference and the break down of the site. I was able to pick up good communication skills here as it was such a large operation, as well as being able to observe the elements of the event and how they all worked and fell into place, so it was a very good experience of managing large scale events.
