* Answer and manage incoming telephone calls, directing callers to the appropriate person or department and taking accurate messages.

* Coordinate meeting room bookings, pool car reservations and catering arrangements.
* Receive, open, date-stamp, sort and distribute incoming mail, excluding personalised correspondence.
* Manage outgoing mail and ensure it is dispatched promptly.
* Maintain a clean, tidy and welcoming reception area and meeting rooms.
* Monitor incoming website enquiries, ensuring they are logged accurately and forwarded to the relevant sales contact or department.
* Produce regular reports relating to website enquiries as required.
* Assist with general office management tasks, including coordinating maintenance and liaising with external service providers.
* Provide general administrative support across a range of departments within the business.
Candidate profile
* Friendly, approachable and professional.
* Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
* Confident in communicating with people at all levels.
* Comfortable answering telephone calls and dealing with visitors.
* Able to prioritise and manage a varied workload effectively.
* Reliable, proactive and able to work independently.
* A good team player who is happy to support colleagues across different areas of the business.
* Confident using standard Microsoft Office packages and general office systems.
* Previous reception or administration experience would be advantageous, although a positive attitude and willingness to learn are equally important.
