‘Way back when’…
Many moons ago, fresh out of uni, I landed my dream job as a Wedding Co-ordinator. I instantly fell in love with all things ‘events’ and although my career has progressed over the years, through various roles as part of reactive and proactive hotel sales teams, my passion for the hospitality industry remains.
Back to it
In 2018, an opportunity came along to work with an exciting, fresh, new company and having just come to the end of maternity leave with my third child, I felt excited to get going again!! As Head of Sales, this role was right up my street. Not only that, the role was flexible and freelance and so fitted perfectly around family life, while allowing me the chance to get back out there!! I enjoyed meeting new people, exploring a creative industry and re-connecting with the buzz of a busy sales community.
My “Screw it, just do it” (Richard Branson) moment
A few months later another fantastic opportunity came along to work on a project with another company, I snapped it up! I had my first two clients, life got busier and I had started to build my small business! It didn’t have a name, I didn’t have a plan necessarily, but I was really enjoying juggling a busy work and home life. From that point, things have spiralled and I feel so lucky that they have. In 2020, I gave myself time to reflect, to make a plan and made things a little more official with a business name and a logo! Pink Vine Sales & Marketing was officially born! Exciting times! My Dad worked hard to build a successful business and I always remember being so proud! If I can make my family even half as proud, i’ll be happy!
I LOVE my job!
I now have a lovely collection of long-standing clients, all within the hospitality industry. The projects I have worked on include sales representation (New business & account management), writing and implementing bespoke marketing strategies, social media management, pre-event & course sales, event registration & appointment scheduling, onsite event support, database management, website management, website design, brochure content writing and brochure design.
I can honestly say ‘I love my job’, I’m pleased and often amazed with what I’ve achieved so far and hope to be working with aspiring businesses for many years.
