About me

I am an experienced hospitality professional with over four years of experience in a variety of positions within Food and Beverage, Hotels and Event management. I have a strong passion for the industry, especially for delivering excellent customer service and exceeding customers’ expectations. With my experience I have developed strong communication skills that allow me to connect with customers, gaining their trust and providing the best service possible to gain and retain repeat visits. I have strong knowledge of both food and beverage, which is of utmost importance in the F&B sector and with my knowledge of both front and back of house this allows me to explain the menu to a greater detail. Alongside working as a team, I enjoy individual challenges that help me grow my knowledge and passion for the industry.

  • Sales, Marketing and Events

    Brend Hotels - Barnstaple, United Kingdom

    Event
    April 2015 - August 2016 · 1 year and 5 months

    I spent just over a year in this Four-Star Hotel, rotating between the Reception, Food and Beverage, Events, Marketing and Reservation departments. I was given an insight into weekly management meetings which increased my knowledge of business strategies used to operate hotels, increase repeat custom and provide financial gain. In the events role, I assisted in the organisation and production of over 15 weddings, solely organised wine tastings and 2 weeks of Christmas parties to name a few. Within the Food and Beverage department I increased my knowledge of cocktails, wines, spirits and coffee art. Latterly I took responsibility for managing the staff and ensuring the bar department ran smoothly at all times. One of my greatest achievements in this department was advising on new ways of creating positive guest experiences through recommending different approaches to the operation of daily tasks that are presently still operating.
