About the role
At Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, we’re in the business of creating unforgettable memories that last forever for the many thousands of guests that visit us at our seven hotels and two activity centres across Scotland.
Groups and events are a key part of our offering across our Family of Hotels and we have an exciting opportunity to join our Event Sales Team, to build the wedding and special event business and represent Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels as the leading option in Scotland for meetings, celebrations and weddings.
As the Events Executive, you will support the sales team with the sales process, conversion and planning of private events, including weddings, small corporate groups and family celebrations at Crieff Hydro Hotel, as well as some requirement to assist with enquiries and events for other hotels within the Family.
