Ros Barbour

As an experienced Events Officer I gained over four years continuous experience within a fast paced environment at London College of Fashion.

Organising and managing 70 events per year, I have a proven history of working in a demanding role and using my personable skills to adapt to any situation.

I am experienced in:

- Budget management forecasting and reporting

- Management of event logistics, including couriers, travel and accommodation

- Sourcing and management of event specific staff, external suppliers and creative agencies

- Regular liaison and collaboration with internal departments (Communications, Press and PR, Development, Web teams) and external organisations such as PR agencies and production companies

- Sourcing and liaising with various high profile venues such as The Dorchester, Mansion House and The Royal Opera House

- Production of risk assessments and working within health and safety guidelines

With nine years experience as a professional senior officer, I am proficient in Microsoft Office as well as adapting to in house databases, procurement systems and using online programs such as Salesforce, Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp to create online event listings, e-vites and bulletins.

I have a working knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I am an excellent communicator and on a daily basis speak with colleagues, senior management and press.

I have worked on collaborations with notable institutes such as, Victoria and Albert Museum for the Yohji Yamamoto exhibition and the Barbican for the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition.
