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.
