MP HospitalityDirector
Apr. 2014Bournemouth, United KingdomMP Hospitality has given me the opportunity to try bigger and better events then I would have previously managed whilst confined to working for one company. For 2 consecutive years I have worked with Hive Beach Cafe, in Burton Bradstock. I assist with the pre-festival planning and daily management of their 320 seater restaurant in the Hospitality area of Glastonbury Festival. I manage this facility from open to close daily throughout the festival and oversee providing meals to over 5000 people during the 4 days as well as ensuring the team of 60 staff are trained pre-opening the doors and that throughout the festival provide a high quality of service to the customers.
It is also the only sit down, table service restaurant in the festival park and draws a high profile clientele. I also collaborated on numerous pop-up events with Seventa Events offering support on the catering side of their events to fully maximise revenue, quality of offering and customer enjoyment.
Seventa organise events, and do them well, they take a clients brief and bringing it to life and their passion shows through in everything they do. Some of the events include:
On the Beach, a 2 week pop up on Bournemouth beach to promote Rekorderlig Cider. The Christmas Bar, a 6 week take over of a town centre location providing Christmas parties for large corporate companies as well as street food and Christmas themed bar for the general public. A temporary catering unit at a large corporate facility for 7 months throughout 2016, providing a variety of hot & cold drinks as well as hot & cold food item in a street food style to
