“Seven years ago, I worked as a technician in the South of France however, being part English evoked the desire to live and work in the UK. So, I took the decision to relocate to London and quickly got a job as a technician at one of Encore’s venues. It was exciting work and I was able to work on some big events, so it was a great opportunity to learn. I was there for a few years and quickly worked my way up from technician to technical events manager.
Unfortunately, then COVID-19 happened, and everything shut down. During this time, my family grew, and my son was born. I was already in talks with the company about moving back to France but due to the pandemic, there were no open positions available. I really wanted to raise my child in France, so I ended up making the tough decision to leave the company and I headed back there. I loved working at Encore though, so it was a bitter-sweet moment.
When business picked up again, I freelanced remotely as a technical events manager after Encore called me back to work. I was later asked to support the sales team temporarily which I thoroughly enjoyed and found I was really good at. I was then offered a sales manager position in the South of France which was a pleasant career change and an amazing opportunity for my professional development. Fast forward three months, I was excited to return to a permanent contract with the company, supporting the commercial team.“
