  Assistant Manager

  I worked closely with the General Manager, on increasing the venues profitability. I had a strong focus on staff training and development and promotion of in house events. I lead a team of 30+ including a in house door team. I did plenty of work on menu development, and consulted with brand reps on pouring contracts. This role also included internal and external events management for large well known festivals such as The Great Escape, Loop festival and Pride, where setting up, managing and then breaking outside bars, was key for brand perception.
