Sarah Burton

Business Management & Marketing Student at Harper Adams University in Newport, Shropshire. Modules studied: Customer Service and Relationship Marketing, Economics, Business Environment, Principles of Marketing, Enterprise and Business Skills, Business Organisation and Law, Logistics and Distribution and IT for Business.

Previously, I have worked in Digital Marketing, being responsible for the company website and ensuring that all members of the team and the web developers were completing work to deadlines and to the high standard expected. My main role was writing Search Engine Optimised content for the website, Facebook and Twitter and moving to a new website meant that I spent a lot of time writing large descriptions for brands. In addition, I became skilled with Wordpress as I used it to create new products on the website as well as using it to regularly update our blog.

Other employment includes being the Catering Manager at the Scottish Shooting Championships in 2014 and 2015. I also worked at this event as a cook in the two years before. The event is seven days long and occurs annually, and because of our success running the event profitably, the event has been held at our venue for four consecutive years, when the venue would usually change every year. In 2014 and 2015 I began to run the event myself, fronting all costs and expenses. This in turn meant I was responsible for ordering, cashing up and dealing with suppliers to ensure all equipment and supplies were available. In addition, I was responsible for recruiting and training staff.

Education: Highers in Biology, Chemistry, English, French, Religious Moral and Philosophical Studies, Modern Studies, History, Music, Business Studies.
