• Liaise with the Sales and Events Manager and support the development of existing business and create opportunities for new business.
• Maintain accurate data on business contacts and enquiries, adding and updating events in the event management system diary and ensure follow-ups and contact is maintained.
• Understand client requirements, objectives, and budgets to create tailored event proposals and packages.
• Liaise with the Sales and Events Manager to develop appropriate Sales and Marketing activities which may include some weekend/ off-site work.
• Administration tasks such as keeping sales notes up to date, drawing up contracts and terms and conditions, providing room plans, sample menus and any other information required by the client before the event is confirmed.
  
  

The Person

• Will ideally have experience in the events and/or hospitality industry
• Will possess a friendly, approachable and ‘can do’ attitude.
• Will be passionate about providing exceptional customer care.
• Will have a keen eye for detail and be able to multitask.
