Summary

Experienced General Manager in the hospitality industry with the most recent been one of Manchester's most popular, Ramona. Most venues I have run have had some incorporation of live music, first being Mix where I doubled the revenue through marketing and promotion strategies, menu changes and live events. At the end of the last lockdown I joined the exciting project of opening Ramona where I was GM until the end of 2022. I made the move to what I truly was passionate about, the events and entertainment team and since then I have developed my role to live production coordinator where I do the advancing, marketing, artist liaison for our radio, live and club nights and assist with the programming for live music. Alongside this I show manage for some of the other amazing entertainment we have on in our other venues and am in charge of equipment maintenance.
