HIC Sales Executive - New Business

Originally from Wilmslow in Cheshire Caroline moved to Harrogate in 1991 and studied as a legal executive at Park Lane College in Leeds. During the course Caroline took a placement with a Leeds based solicitors working in the conveyancing department.

Uninspired by the world of conveyancing Caroline changed direction and opted for a more sociable and rewarding position as Account Manager for Bass Brewers. During her 7 years with Bass Caroline saw the company bought out by American giant Coors and progressed well within the company working in various roles and spending the majority of her time as the Account Manager for the Wetherspoons group. Progressing on from account management Caroline then spent time working on new business and also resource forecasting. In 2006 Caroline left the company to take up a position with Kudos Hospitality as Customer Service and Sales Executive.

Kudos Hospitality is the catering partner at Harrogate International Centre. Based on site at HIC Caroline worked closely with other HIC departments and their clients to plan in and organise all aspects of event catering from gala dinners and weddings, to exhibition stand catering.

After nearly two years with Kudos Hospitality Caroline was delighted to secure her position as New Business Sales Executive with HIC and received great support from her colleagues at Kudos, whom she will continue to work closely with in her new role.

Caroline enjoys walking in the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales, entertaining at home and travel. Later this year Caroline will be starting French classes and hopes to be a little more successful than in her school days.
