My client offers a wide range of event services from venue and accommodation booking, to conference and exhibitions management across global locations. For the last 20 years, they can pride themselves on being able to understand their clients needs and respond in an imaginative way, pulling together all of their experience to put together a superb solution to any events brief. Working across a range of clients including BT, BP, Honda, Royal Mail and Skoda, they have built up relationships, and totally understand their client’s current and projected event requirements.
Due to a fantastic year so far with the business going from strength to strength they are currently recruiting a number of new positions including a conference Venue Finder to work across all of the client teams. The overall responsibility for the role is to deal with client requests for accommodation, conference booking and other services, ensuring that revenue is maximised and the client’s brief is met.
This will include:
· Taking the brief from a Client Coordinator or Client Manager and understanding the client’s requirements.
· Contacting venues and hotels to enquire about availability
· Negotiating rates to increase revenue
· Contract negotiation
This is fantastic entry level role to the conference and events industry with the opportunity to progress within the agency. Ideally you will have some hotel or venue experience, or indeed experience of venue finding within an agency - more importantly a real “can-do” attitude and the desire to learn from the grass roots up!
At Live Recruitment we specialise in the event industry and work for leading event agencies, both corporate and experiential, venues and clients; successfully placing event managers, event executives and account managers into a wide range of event roles.
