The role will involve face to face meetings with press as well as Brand owners therefore the candidate will need to feel comfortable and confident at organising and holding meetings on a regular basis.

A driving licence is essential – you will be expected to attend exhibitions and meetings away from the office base which will in turn involve spending a small amount of time away from home.
