In my short time with the company I closed some of the first sales which were not upgrades from the companies previous software with a contract value of cira £750kI introduced Salesforce and built up a prospecting database which allowed for a greatly increased pipeline and effective management of this. I managed the whole sales cycle from lead generation, demos, completion of tender documents to final contracting. In addition to sales, I was also tasked with marketing and worked to create regular emails to customers, prospects and consultants. I also worked on external industry events and internal user events from planning to execution. Also as part of my role, I had an account management function which involves engaging with senior stakeholders at existing venues to ensure users are getting the most from the system and provide a consultative role to ensure a higher level of user engagement and satisfaction with the SRO4 system.

I was headhunted to lead the setup of ADNEC’s ticketing operations for a planned arena and theatre whilst also building a regional ticket agency. From setting up online operations to recruiting and training a team with no ticketing experience the business went live within 2 months of my arrival. With a small diverse team the business achieved rapid growth while maintaining costs through cross training and effective empowerment of the team.In the first full operational year revenue was 50% above target and in the second year margins were doubled through growth of contracts and larger volumes on existing business driven by online improvements.I also took on a joint management role of the ADNEC Live Events side of the business. Acting as promoter I jointly worked on event selection, budgeting, ticket pricing strategy, marketing and operations. My first event Chinese State Circus was a financial and critical success with almost 10,000 attendees over 4 performances and has been the most profitable event staged so far. This was followed by other family shows all of which resulted in a profitable business segment for the company.My title didn't reflect my role which was essentially acting as a Managing Director of a business unit independent from the rest of the exhibition centre company. I managed all aspects of the business except final payment of events which is handled by the groups finance team and procurement of goods.At the end of 2013 the company implemented a strategic review of all business units and due to the arena and theatre projects being canceled the year before the ticketing operations were no longer considered core operations. At the start of 2014 I negotiated the sale of the business to a competitor and left the company.

Working with a computerised booking and data management system means I am confident with IT and it's various applications and have no problems picking up new systems, which meant I was one of the staff who worked on secondment

Managed much of the day to day operations of this "chameleon" venue from the daytime restaurant operation to the evening bar and nighttime club. My role was wide-ranging from training and overseasing waiters and bar staff to managing the celler, stocktakes and ordering. I overhauled the bar layouts to optimise product sales and serve times and introduced roving shot sellers to increase revenue per customer with incremental sales. I worked with the regional manager to improve the cleaning contract and the evening entertainment allowing for increases in entrance fees and the introduction of a cloakroom to bring in additional revenues from none F&B sales.

In my time at the club, I worked on a number of clubs highest attended events. Alongside working on the bar I worked in a small team which created huge marketing spectacles to drive sold-out attendance at key events such as Pride, New Years, Christmas, Halloween and the clubs birthdays. During my time at the club, a large well-funded competitor had opened a new modern club nearby which was predicted to take away our business, with a lot of promotional work we not only made the club thrive we started to open on an additional night. 20 years on the club is still open and the 2 competing clubs have closed down.

I joined the international payments team as a temporary member of staff to work on a project which was dealing with issues in the automated payment reconciliation of the forthcoming Euro currency which started as a bank to bank payment currency before replacing the founding member's national currencies. Working with the Correspondent banking team in London I was hired to help in a team of 3 to reconcile a daily 200 page paper bank statement which the software was failing to do which resulted in the team not knowing what credits and debts were left at the end of the day resulting in being unable to chase overseas banks and apportion the correct interest charges and credits. I was able to devise a faster reconciliation process which resulted in me being relocated to the London offices for 3 months to work closely with the circa 20 correspondent bankers and the project management team. After the project was completed I was reallocated to a 2 person team managing correspondent banks incoming and outgoing payments for all accounts in the Americas and Asia Pacific which involved working with the incoming CHAPS team to ensure the incoming payments were credited to the accounts to allow me to release outgoing payment instructions ranging from a few hundred pounds to hundreds of millions. The job was high pressure with the constant balancing of accounts to ensure funds were available and where funds were not cleared working by phone with the London based Correspondent Bankers to chase overseas banks or make a decision on allowing accounts to go into deficit.
