Meet Cully, our Marketing Coordinator who has been here for just over a year.
The BDC has a fantastic team, everyone of whom contribute something special and make it a great place to work. From our front of house staff who always welcome guests with a smile, to partners like our incredible culinary crew who provide some of Angel’s most delicious dishes, each one has a story to share.
Over the last year we have had a few new faces join the BDC team, and today we are introducing Cully who joined, us just over a year ago, in June 2024. We caught up with Cully to learn a bit more about her and what she has learnt and what she’s looking forward to…
Cully joined as the Marketing Coordinator in the Marketing Department, helping to deliver opportunities to our clients as well as working closely with the local area, looking after social media and digital.
Before joining the BDC, Cully worked in marketing in the Biometric Security Industry and completed a BA Hons in Sports Development (Sports Management) and a MSc in Global Meetings and Events Management. Cully is looking forward to growing further in her role and attending industry events like The Festival of Marketing in October.
We asked Cully some of her top moments and advice that she has received.
What's the best advice you've received?
“Things happen for a reason, accept it and work with what is given to you as you never know what door it will open.”
What advice would you give to someone starting in the industry?
“It is okay to make mistakes, just as long as you learn from them and don’t be afraid to ask questions as you go.”
What aspects of your role have you found most rewarding so far?
“So far, I have found the sales aspect of my role far more rewarding and enjoyable than I thought I would, as it has helped me learn the venue and has given me new skills and experiences, which I look forward to continuing to improve and develop over time.”
And how about you…
What are your favourite weekend plans?
“Going to concerts, watching rugby (specifically Bath or England) play or hanging out with friends in the sun.”
Any hobbies we should know about?
“Playing hockey is a favourite of mine, as I grew up watching my Dad play and now play myself and have done for as long as I can remember.
A more recent highlight was going to Velsen, Amsterdam for a hockey tour.”
Found a favourite place to eat near the BDC yet?
“I like a lot of restaurants in Islington however one of my favourite restaurant in Islington, is Holy Pitta for their Holy Wrap.”
What's your most memorable trip?
“Going to the Maldives over Christmas 2023 with my family to celebrate my brother and I both finishing University and my dad’s retirement. It was an incredible experience and one that I will never forget.”
Over the coming months we will be introducing more of the team, getting to know some new and also longstanding faces.
