Following the end of my secondment role at Manchester235, I decided to continue my career in the direction of Sales and Marketing, acquiring an exciting new role at Manchester Central. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience in this role, and am keen to continue on in this kind of working environment. The pace, challenge and versatility I found that accompany the role are all things I deem important qualities in a job, and I am hoping to continue to develop my newly acquired skills and hone the ones I believe makes me the ideal candidate for this type of industry. Due to the Covid19 pandemic outbreak, my time at Manchester Central was made shorter than intended amidst unfortunate company redundancies. My duties included: ● Liaising with organisers and delegates via email and telephone ● Picking up pre existing events and continuing their planning ● Shadowing the Catering Event Managers (CEMs) on event days and assisting in ground operations ● Creating catering event schedules in accordance with client needs and updates from the CEMs ● Operating the scheduling system Ungerboeck ● Working closely with the Accounts department to ensure payments and invoices are sent and received in accordance to deadlines ● Attending planning meetings and shadowing my Line Manager during client walkthroughs and meetings ● Organising internal meetings as well as client visits and ensuring all catering and seating needs are seen to before hand ● Organising and attending tasting sessions with clients, CEMs and the kitchen team ● Working closely with the Chefs and kitchen to create bespoke menus for banqueting galas ● Updating the set menu prices for buffets and packed lunches ● Using the website booking system to keep track of exhibitor purchases and stand requirements
