Challenging new temporary Event Assistant role ideal for Event Management student or graduate or a student or graduate looking to gain experience in this dynamic industry.
Fixed Term Nov 2011 – February 2012
Salary dependent on hours / days available to work

Executive Hire Show Ltd
Hartham Park 
Corsham
Wiltshire
SN13 0RP

Launched in 2007, Executive Hire Show has quickly become the unmissable national exhibition for the tools, equipment and plant hire industry. This show brings the industry together and is the annual event where Passionate Hirers Meet Innovative Suppliers. To be held on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 February 2012. Our 2011 Show attracted 133 exhibitors (for example JCB, DeWalt, Hilti) and a record 1843 hirer visitors from both national and independent hire companies throughout the UK, Europe and further afield. We also hold a networking Party on the Thursday evening. This year is set to be even bigger as we are adding another hall to the event, which is why we are looking for some help!

You will be working closely with the Event Manager assisting with all aspects of organising the event. We are such a small team that you will be able to get involved in a bit of everything and so hopefully feel like you have a good all round understanding of what is required to put on a trade show. This will include Sales, Marketing, Administration and Operations to name but a few. You will be based in our offices in the Manor House at Hartham Park in Wiltshire and would need your own transport or be able to get a lift. Our hours of business are 8.30am-5pm Monday to Friday.

This is a full or part time position for a period of approximately 4 months from November 2011 through to February 2012, but you will be required to work the whole of the event on-site, so week commencing 6 February 2012. The closing date for entries is Friday 21 October and there is one position available.

The successful candidate would, first and foremost, need to demonstrate a commitment to work in the events industry, have a confident, enthusiastic and out-going personality, be computer literate and have good organisational skills.

Please email your CV and a cover letter explaining why you are interested in the role and why you believe you are the right person for this opportunity to Ali Rogers ali@executivehireshow.com or  alternatively post it to Ali Rogers, Event Manager, Executive Hire Show Ltd, Hartham Park, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13 0RP, if you wish to ask any questions about the role then please give me a call on 01249 700750.<o:p></o:p>
