A little bit about me..

I joined Tewin Bury Farm as a school leaver and started as a Receptionist. I had always been interested in Weddings and my dream was to be a Wedding Planner. After a year on Reception, I was given the opportunity as Wedding & Events Co-ordinator and worked my way up to Wedding & Events Team Leader which I have thoroughly enjoyed for the past 7 years. I have recently changed to the Marketing & Social Media Executive as of the Beginning of August to set myself a new challenge.

A little bit about me…
I have worked in the Hospitality sector for 13 years, starting as a casual member of waiting staff within a 4 star hotel. After being promoted to a Supervisor role, I decided to go down the route of studying Hospitality at University, in which I obtained a 2:1 degree in Hospitality and Business Management whilst continuing to work within the Hotel. Over the years I have worked in a range of departments from Sales, Operations & Front of House within different hotels in Hertfordshire and Central London. This has helped me gain knowledge which I can bring to my current role.

I enjoy working as part of a team, not only booking the corporate events but assisting with Social events & weddings. I enjoy following the booking process from an initial enquiry, liaising and meeting with organisers, through to seeing it in operation on the day. Each day there are new challenges and tasks, a highlight being securing new contract and building new relationships with clients
