Overview

We're looking for a passionate events professional to lead GSF's ever-growing portfolio of events and hospitality - creating experiences that excite, inspire and connect our national accounts, garage concepts and independent garages. No two days will be the same. One week you could be powering supplier branch workouts or launching a brand-new branch with impact; the next you'll be at the forefront of major industry gatherings like TechFest Wembley, the ServiceSure Conference, and our flagship Branch Manager's Conference.

This is your chance to own the delivery of high-profile, high-energy events - managing everything from big-picture planning to on-the-day wow factor. You'll work with talented in-house marketers and trusted specialist partners to make sure every event smashes expectations, all while keeping budgets and timelines firmly on track. If you thrive on variety, love creating experiences people remember, and want to play a pivotal role in shaping GSF's national presence - this is the role for you.
