About Us
We are a growing catering and events business delivering festivals, corporate catering, private events and seasonal experiences throughout the year.
We are looking for a motivated and hands-on individual to become a key part of the business and help drive the next stage of growth.
This is not a desk-based management role. We are looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck in, taking ownership and helping build something successful.
The Role
Working directly alongside the owner, you will play a key role in helping generate new business, organise and deliver events, manage logistics and lead teams.
This role would suit someone who enjoys variety and responsibility. One day you may be following up corporate catering enquiries, the next loading a vehicle, leading a festival setup or delivering an event for a corporate client.
The successful candidate will become a trusted part of the business and will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the business continues to grow.
Working Hours
This role can be either part-time or full-time and hours will flex throughout the year depending on business requirements.
Our busiest periods are typically:
- June to August (festival and event season)
- November and December (Christmas events and seasonal trading)
During these periods, additional hours will often be available.
Quieter periods are typically focused on:
- Business development
- Client relationship management
- Quotation follow-up
- Festival applications
- Event planning
- Equipment maintenance and preparation
Flexibility is essential due to the seasonal nature of the business.
