Full job description

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.

Key Responsibilities

Business Development
Generate and convert new corporate catering opportunities
Follow up enquiries and quotations
Build relationships with businesses, venues and event organisers
Identify opportunities for repeat business
Help grow revenue throughout the year

Event Delivery

Lead the delivery of corporate catering events
Coordinate festival and event setups and breakdowns
Manage event teams on site
Maintain high standards of customer service and presentation
Act as a key contact for clients during events

Operations & Logistics

Organise vehicles, stock and equipment
Drive company vehicles to and from events
Load and unload equipment and supplies
Manage event logistics and preparation
Ensure equipment is maintained and event-ready
Help improve operational efficiency

Team Leadership

Support recruitment and onboarding of staff
Help train and develop team members
Lead by example during busy periods
Maintain a positive and professional working culture

What We're Looking For

Must be over 25 years of age due to vehicle insurance
Full UK driving licence - ESSENTIAL
Excellent organisational skills
Strong communication skills
Ability to work independently and take ownership
Comfortable working flexible hours, including weekends when required
Positive attitude and willingness to get stuck in

Desirable (Training will be given)

Experience in hospitality, catering, events or similar industries
Business development or sales experience
Experience leading teams
Food Hygiene qualification
Experience working at festivals and outdoor events
Trailer towing experience

What Success Looks Like

New business opportunities generated and converted
Events delivered successfully without constant supervision
Strong client relationships and repeat business
Well-organised and motivated event teams
Positive contribution to business growth and profitability

What We Offer

A varied role where no two days are the same
Genuine responsibility and autonomy
Performance-related bonuses and incentives
Profit share opportunities
Opportunity to grow with the business

Pay: £22,000.00-£28,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
