Red Event Wedding Fayres is a growing wedding events business focused on creating welcoming, high-quality wedding fayres across the North West. We pride ourselves on building genuine relationships with exhibitors and providing a warm, professional experience for both suppliers and couples.
We are a small, friendly team where communication, trust and a personal approach are important. This is a flexible, fully remote freelance opportunity, working closely with the business owner and playing an important role in growing our exhibitor network.
About the Role
We are looking for a friendly, confident and organised Telesales Professional to join our team and help increase exhibitor bookings across our North West wedding shows.
This is a remote, part-time freelance/self-employed role, offering approximately 6–9 hours per week, which can be split across three days. An immediate start is available.

The role is particularly busy during our main event seasons:
*
September – November

January – May
There is generally a quieter period during the summer, with planning for the new season beginning around July.
