What makes a career in sales at Hire Space unique?
I’ve spent the whole of my career to date in various account management and relationship management roles and can honestly say working as a RM for Hire Space is the best! Firstly the nature of the work is SO varied, I look after all of my accounts enquiries, this could be hugely complex events for 1000s of people, over multiple days or a simple private event for 10 guests. This enables me to work with event spaces of all sizes and styles not just in London but across the UK and Internationally. One day I could be looking for a private members club in Miami, the next moment for a conference room in Leeds!

How does Hire Space support your mental and physical health?
Hire Space does a great job of supporting the team's health and specifically have implemented a lot of structure and provide a lot of support around mental health. The company made a decision a few years ago to recognise mental health sickness the same as physical health sickness, and is open about taking mental health sick days. We have fully paid access to a coach & physchotherapist, whenever we want or need. There is a mental health first aider, and it's just definitely a very open company regarding mental health. Recently the company has announced more investment in the team's health, by provided a wellbeing budget to spend on whatever we like, be it gym membership, subscription to a wellbeing app, childcare, healthy eating... We're also doing a group 5k run in a couple of weeks. To top all this off, there is a lot of recognition at Hire Space to make sure everyone is aware of the great work being done around the company. Sales gongs and marketing enquiry results are lauded, yes, but there are awards given out across the company to recognise achievements in line with our company values.
