Please can you share a whistle-stop tour of your career?
Embarked on my career in hospitality in Brighton post-university, in various roles, including managing bars such as the beloved Spiegeltent pre-COVID.
Joined Black Rock, contributing to the opening of new restaurant Burnt Orange in 2021, began as front of house, which lead up to reservations manager.
I transitioned to the role of Marketing Executive for all Black Rock sites after a brief travel period. Spent over a year in Black Rock’s head office before beginning my current role as Marketing Manager for Permit Room in Brighton and Dishoom in London.
Though still at the early stages of my journey, I’m eagerly anticipating the exciting opportunities that lie ahead!
