I am an experienced sales and marketing professional specializing in promoting unique and unusual venues for events both in London and UK wide. Having worked in the industry for more than 25 years, I have had the privilege of working with some of the UK's most exciting and iconic venues to help them to grow their brand presence and exposure and maximize revenue opportunities from events. My main areas of expertise are:1) Raising the profile and creating awareness for venues as event spaces to drive incremental revenue and increase occupancy outside of their core business.2) Strategic and tactical planning and execution to achieve key objectives and deliver positive and measurable results3) Building, developing and supporting strong, effective and happy sales and marketing teams 4) A strong communicatior managing stakeholder relationships at all levels both internally and externally5) Working with external support agencies for creative design and digital campaigns6) Developing partner relationships and joint sales and marketing opportunities7) Managing budgets to deliver successful projects on time and within budgetSome of the incredible event venues I have been lucky enough to work with include Lord's Cricket Ground, Woods - Silver Fleet, HMS Belfast, Ascot Racecourse, The Royal Horticultural Halls and most recently the Prestige Venues & Events portfolio across the UK. I love working with people and great teams and have a strong passion for great customer service and exceptional experiences in food, drink and hospitality. A venue can be absolutely anywhere and anything for an event and this constant evolution is what makes it such an exciting industry to work in.
