Are you a bubbly, organised people-person who loves getting things right for a client? Do you want a role where no two days are the same, one minute dispatching a client gift to New York, the next coordinating an exhibition stand delivery? If you're a fast learner with a genuine passion for great service, we'd love to hear from you.
