As the Head of Visitor and Commercial Operations at Painshill Park Trust Ltd, I have been leading and managing all the income-generating streams at the restored 18th Century landscape garden since May 2016. With over 15 years of experience in the tourism, hospitality, leisure, and heritage sectors, I have a proven track record of implementing new initiatives and structural change that result in increased income performance and customer satisfaction.I am passionate about delivering the best visitor experience and journey possible, while developing and empowering my team of senior commercial staff. I am also responsible for the commercial budgets and forecasts, the in-house and digital visitor experience, the premises licence, and the collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. Some of my recent achievements include doubling the membership numbers in 12 months, increasing the tea room income by more than 100%, and welcoming over 60K more visitors in 2020 after the national lockdown. I am always looking for innovative and creative ways to enhance the appeal and value of Painshill Park Trust as a unique and inspiring destination.
