Marketing & Business Development Administrator, Fairway What made you choose to work for Fairway?
Before joining Fairway, I spent a year working in Human Resources, which gave me valuable experience in the financial sector. However, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in Marketing. After exploring a few junior marketing roles, Fairway stood out to me - the responsibilities of the role aligned perfectly with my interests and skills. What really attracted me was Fairway’s commitment to staff development and career progression, which is something I deeply value. Another key factor was the collaborative culture the company promotes. Since joining over two years ago, I’ve seen this first-hand - collaboration is not only encouraged but embedded in the way we work, helping me build strong relationships across the business.
Age: 24 University attended: UWE Bristol Course: Sociology What did you want to be when you were 8 years old? A marine biologist - I thought it meant I’d get to swim in the sea and work with dolphins every day! Favourite way to relax: One of my favourite ways to unwind is by going for a long walk while listening to a podcast or some music. I’ve always enjoyed going to the gym, and recently I’ve started incorporating Pilates into my routine. I find it a more engaging and relaxing form of exercise, especially after a busy day at work. Favourite place to eat in Jersey: Botana Favourite possession: My dog, Frank!
What professional training have you done?
Last year, I studied for my CIM Level 4 Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing and achieved a distinction in January 2025.
What do you do on an average day?
No two days are ever quite the same in my role, which is one of the things I love most about it! I usually start my Mondays by reviewing my ongoing projects and pulling together a weekly checklist. This helps me align my calendar with key priorities and stay on top of upcoming deadlines. My responsibilities span a wide range of marketing and business development activities, including employer brand development, planning and organising events (both internal and external), and creating content for our website and social media channels. I’m also the main coordinator for our events, sponsorships, CSR, and corporate hospitality programmes - managing all the logistics involved. Alongside this, I contribute to general daily admin tasks to keep everything running smoothly.
What is your next step?
With Fairway’s global presence continuing to grow, I’m keen to take on more responsibility across our international jurisdictions. I’d love to build stronger relationships with colleagues overseas and gain more exposure to business development opportunities in those regions. I also plan to keep making the most of the growth opportunities Fairway offers, including the monthly Promise Programme sessions, which have been instrumental in supporting both my personal and professional development. I’m also looking forward to pursuing further professional qualifications with Fairway’s support.
What advice would you give yourself as a graduate considering the experience you have now?
No work experience is ever wasted. If you’re unsure about what you want to do or which sector to go into, don’t worry - every experience helps you build transferable skills that will benefit you in whichever path you choose.
