The main purpose of my role was to co-ordinate both commercial and private events at Sandy Park. This covered anything from an exclusive dining experience to a 3-day long exhibition accommodating up to 100 individual exhibitors. I worked with all of my clients from the initial stages of their enquiry, and once the event was confirmed I advised them on menus, agendas, logistics, room plans, suppliers and AV. I then ensured that all of the above was clearly communicated to the Operations and Catering Team who oversee the events on the day. My key responsibilities were to identify new and retain existing business sales opportunities for all conference and event enquiries, including meetings, exhibitions, private parties, weddings and Christmas events. It can be an extremely busy role with lots of event logistics being agreed and changed at the same time, but when an event comes together and the client is happy it is extremely rewarding and worthwhile.OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDED:Pre and post-event invoicing Key organiser for a number of Sandy Park events - Wedding Fair, Exeter Chiefs Season Launch Dinner & Players Sponsors evening to name but a few Sandy Park profit and loss reporting Reception cover - welcoming guests, answering calls and assisting queriesManagement of Exeter Chiefs post-match and travel food requirements - liaising with Coaches & Players ChefAttended a number of trade shows to represent and sell Sandy Park as a conference and event venueAssisted in the training of new and junior members of staff Book and coordinate internal staff meetings to include Chief Executive, Directors, Head Coach & Heads of Departments Manage the minute taking for the Sandy Park Business Development meeting (fortnightly)Assist the marketing team with managing the company social media channels to generate consumer engagement and new leadsCreated email correspondence/templates to provide timely responses and enhance client communication
