Business Live is held monthly, and is a fresh networking event, based in Milton Keynes and Leicester and looking to expand to Nottingham and across the Midlands. Bringing together the vibrant atmosphere, and superb food of Bistro Live to the networking arena. I worked somewhat part time on Business Live for the but as of July 2011 my role became full time, as a Sales Manager. My main job roles included sales for events and membership, devising and implementing marketing plans and running each event. I made sure all the annual members are well looked after, blogging and sending E-newsletters regulary to ensure each company is getting the exposure that Business Live offers.

I started as a waiter back in 2007 at Bistro Live Leicester before quickly joining the sales team in May 2008. I started off part time, purely doing telesales but my job roles grew and I quickly became part of the senior sales team later that year. After a very successful sales period I was promoted to an Office Supervisor in September 2010 and although still carrying on with sales, became more involved with email marketing and sales plans.

I have been working part time in the Bistro Live Leicester venue since I left my fulltime sales job in February 2012, and now I'm back fulltime as the supervisor of the restaurant. My time here now is also spent organising 'The Bistro Live Business Club'. A monthly networking lunch for senior professionals in Leicester and the surrounding areas. We have brought the fun and vibrant atmosphere of Bistro Live to the networking scene!

After working hard since my return to Bistro Live, I received a promotion In March 2016 to become the Assistant Manager, transferring to the Bistro Live in Milton Keynes. I now get more involved with all the aspects of running Bistro Live as a resturant, including recruitment, training, HR, stock takes and the management of the restaurant whilst operating at the weekends, aswell as much more.
