I had a keen interest in hospitality from a young age, working both in kitchens as a trainee chef, as well as a waitress both in restaurants and on events alongside school. This developed my love of the events industry, and I then went on to study Events Management at Bournemouth University. The course was great and gave me a lot of experience across the whole scope of the events world, however once graduated, I couldn’t stay away from the hospitality side, and decided a London based catering company was my next dream move! After reaching out to all the London caterers that I managed to find, I was lucky enough to be offered a job, and I have been a part of the wonderful world of catering ever since.

I had always known of Moving Venue and their respected reputation in the industry, so they had always been on my radar. A brand-new venue came onto the scene, Magazine London, and Moving Venue were the exclusive catering partner for this venue. I had been approached to take on the exciting role of managing the sales and planning of the catering elements for all events within the venue, and whilst certainly a challenging next step for me, it was an offer I simply couldn’t refuse!

Try and get as much experience as possible! Getting out there volunteering, helping out friends and getting as much work experience increases your exposure to the many different roles and responsibilities within the industry, and allows you to get a real feel for what area of events is best suited to you. It is also an industry where it helps to know people in the right places, so again getting out there and increasing your network is super beneficial!
