Service

From my experience within the Hospitality industry, during the summer of 2010 I put it to good use. The aim of the business was to assist and help serve drinks at garden parties in my local area.

Alistair Dolphin [email protected]

To gain more enquiries I designed an A4 poster campaign and put 6 posters up in neighbouring villages. I charged £10 per hour and on occasions I had to source local employment within the area to help if I needed more staff for events.

This portfolio describes a bit more about the business including testimonials of what some of my clients have said about my service and also some of the promotional tools that I used.

I started off by designing a small A5 leaflet and delivered that to 50 houses around where I lived. I got 8 responses to the leaflet for enquiries just over 10% return.

I made over £400 over 8 garden parties. This resulted in an average of £50 for each one.

“I thought you and Lisa were absolutely brilliant. You were both so professional and made our party go so smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble for either of you. Thank you very much. Everyone was very impressed by your professionalism and courteousness and I will certainly give you a ring when we have another party.” Julia Mitchell – Number available on request

“Alistair did two drinks catering events for me. Thank you so much for your wonderful help yesterday. It made such a difference as we were able to relax and enjoy our friends company. Everywhere was very tidy in the kitchen and dining room. Many thanks. Tricia Griffiths – Number available on request

“We had a lunch party for approximately 40 people. Alistair not only fixed and served drinks but also came up with great suggestions about how to organise the day. He just got on and did everything without waiting to be asked which contributed to a lovely day. I would recommend Alistair and hope to use him again soon.” Stephanie Wellesley – Number available on request


This is the poster I designed including contact details. I put these around the local area in which I live. I put six posters

in total to advertise our drinks catering service.

“Thank you very much for helping to make our celebrations so special. From the moment you arrived, you took control and worked tirelessly throughout the evening. It was especially reassuring to see that everyone was being well looked after and we have received so many lovely comments about you. The icing on the cake was that you cleared away at the end of the evening, leaving us little to do the next morning. Thank you both very much once again”

Could your name be filling

this space soon?

Are you having a party this summer?

Are you looking

for people to help serve

drinks, nibbles whilst YOU entertain guests?

Prompt arrival, competently accepting directions for what we wanted you to do, looking the part in smart black "uniforms" and then calmly and efficiently working away could not have been better accomplished. The clearing and washing up was a real boon as we set off for London and the family gathering next morning. Many thanks - we would be happy to recommend you.

The only thing that you will be worrying about is the hangover from the night before.
