You will help us maximise our earned income by working in a public-facing role both in person and over email, responding to enquiries and carrying these from initial advice through to point of sale, and supporting our operations team with delivery on the day as required.
You will help drive outreach to larger companies and organisations looking for Daytime Meeting and Conference Space, promoting our wide variety of spaces and ancilliary services to audiences needing a room for 2 – 250 people.
You will build on existing relationships and opportunities by working internally and externally to communicate clearly and keep our administrative records up to date to help us better understand our audiences.
