Meet Kim

What was your first job? 

I studied Agri Food Marketing and Business Studies at Harper Adams University then once I finished this my first job was a planning analyst in in the food industry so my journey to hospitality has been varied. 

What inspired you to get into the hospitality industry?

The People! I love the thought that I have played a part in someone enjoying an experience.  

How would you describe yourself to someone who’d never met you?

Bubbly, outgoing, knowledgeable, warm, friendly, relatable and love a chat! 

Which wedding venue within Galgorm is your favourite? 

The Renaissance Suite is my favourite because I love the view and how airy it is. The high ceilings and the large windows give it that grandeur feel. 

What is your favourite part of wedding planning? 

The variety of the job, no two days are the same. I love hearing people’s stories and backgrounds and helping them carry that into their wedding day. Then seeing the look on their faces when they say “I do”, those are the special moments you can’t enjoy in many other careers. 

Who do you look up to/who inspires you?

It’s more of a group, but since joining Galgorm Collection I have been inspired by the number of female managers and how hard they word to achieve their goals daily all while balancing their lives.

What website or app could you not do without?

On the side of wedding planning, I help out with the family business, so I am going to say the Facebook Business Suite app, which helps me schedule marketing content all in one place. 

Tell us something interesting about yourself?

I once skydived and bungy jumping in Australia, where I travelled for 6 months.

What’s your greatest passion outside work and family?

I used to complete in eventing which I am working towards doing again as it has been a hobby of mine my whole life.
