Working remotely, I am responsible for all day to day operations of the site including human resources, training, marketing and finance. As well as managing the Bedale and Sheffield sites, I am also responsible for maintaining other new and existing sites, ensuring all ropes courses are safe for public use while maximising the customer experience.Upon joining the company I implemented major changes to the Bedale course and installed a completely new safety system. This enabled a new target market (1.1 - 1.4 metre tall children) to complete the course, increasing the customer base by attracting a higher volume of families. The new system was much simpler and enabled reductions in staffing costs and as such was more cost effective.I developed effective marketing including the development of a social media campaign as well as building relationships with the media and PR organisations to increase customer awareness. I also utilise current review sites such as 'Trip Advisor' to actively engage with customers on a regular basis.
