My role included producing occupancy documentation, overseeing client financial contributions, ensuring all properties comply with current legislation, managing fleet vehicles and providing other administrative support to the wider team.

This role has given me the opportunity to see how the inside of a small business runs.

My role has included serving customers, processing stock, assisting with PAYE and wages, social media marketing, setting up the new POS system and website.

My role here has provided me with the optimal skills that are essential for administration work. Some examples are daily accounts reporting, taking phone calls, replying to emails, checking in the guests, showing them around the hotel and answering any questions guests have about the Marlborough region.
