Summary
I have been working in Hospitality for seven years across a wide range of events venues, pubs, kitchens, festivals and private events spaces. I have a keen interest in brewing and the creative / scientific elements in particular and have an active interest in new beer products and promotions.
Thanks to my extensive history in events and time spent as a session musician I have been fortunate enough to set up a small events company that specialized in running suitable drinks promotions along side specific artists to otherwise create an experience.
I am friendly and outgoing and enjoy building a fast and genuine customer rapport.
I am punctual and both capable of working alone effectively and working as a team player.
