This is a newly created role and an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys meeting people, building relationships and generating new business.
We are not looking for someone to simply manage incoming enquiries. We are looking for someone who can actively help us grow.
The Role
You will work closely with our management, wedding and marketing teams to identify opportunities, generate enquiries and increase bookings across the group.
Areas of focus will include:
- Weddings
- Private functions
- Corporate events and meetings

- Identify opportunities for new events and revenue streams.
- Work with our marketing team to support promotional campaigns.
- Help develop and sell seasonal packages, including Christmas and summer events.
- Maintain excellent customer relationships throughout the booking process.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Friendly, confident and outgoing.
- Passionate about hospitality and events.
- Comfortable speaking with customers and businesses.
- Self-motivated and proactive.
- Organised and able to manage multiple projects.
- Commercially aware and driven by results.
- A team player with a positive attitude.
Previous experience in hospitality, events, weddings, sales, customer service or business development would be advantageous, but personality and attitude are just as important.
A full UK driving licence is preferred.
What We Offer
- Salary from £25,000 per year.
- Performance-related bonus scheme.
- Flexible working hours.
- Staff discount across all venues.
- Pension scheme.
- Career progression opportunities.
- The chance to help shape and grow an expanding hospitality business.
Why Join Us?
