In this role I prided myself on creating an exceptional working environment amongst my team. Our key focus was to provide an impeccable service for those fortunate enough to be part of a match/event days within The Royal Wembley Suite. As the first port of call for any customer queries or issues, I developed an understanding nature, as well as the ability to take on-board the opinions of others and showing compassion in resolving any issues put to me.My key take aways from this role are the skills I gained related to the importance of the customers experience and relationship building.
