Delivery-focused project and event manager with proven client management skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a delivery-focused projects and event manager with a proven track record in client and people management. My extensive experience in PR and marketing, combined with my expertise in company formation and compliance, has equipped me with a full-cycle project skillset. I have successfully delivered complex projects, including the establishment of the UK branch of International Business Company Formation Inc. and the launch of Abbots Leigh B&B, as well as the award-winning restaurant Queen of Cups.
In my recent role as Ops Manager and Co-Owner of Queen of Cups, I managed a team of 20, overseeing vendor management, bookkeeping, payroll, and team training. My key achievements include planning the complete renovation of Hawthorns pub in just four weeks and achieving recognition in the Michelin Guide. I am passionate about delivering results within budget and deadlines while ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.
As the Founder of Abbots Leigh B&B, I have honed my skills in customer experience management and compliance. I produced monthly management accounts and optimized marketing strategies to enhance customer engagement. My previous experience as Managing Director at International Business Company Formation UK Ltd. allowed me to build a robust network of professional contacts and double net profit on UK services for US companies. I am committed to continuous improvement and delivering exceptional results in every project I undertake.
