A day in the Life of...

Amy Jelley

Corporate Business Research Executive

At Whittlebury Park, every event has the potential to be extraordinary thanks to their unique and versatile venue, paired with an amazing and passionate team, working hard to make your vision come to life.

Bringing innovation and enthusiasm to her role as a Corporate Business Research Executive, Amy Jelley has shared her journey, insights and memorable experiences with us.

How long have you worked at Whittlebury Park?

I’ve been a part of Whittlebury Park since February 2024. I have previous experience working with other hotels and conference centres, however, I am very much enjoying my time at Whittlebury Park

What does your job involve?

As a Corporate Business Research Executive, my main role is to undertake research projects to proactively identify and engage with businesses that could benefit from our training rooms, conference facilities, or land hire.

This involves analysing industry trends and identifying companies across various sectors that could use our facilities Whether through LinkedIn, networking at events and exhibitions, or monitoring venue search requests on social media, my goal is to build strong relationships with the clients and demonstrate how we can support their growth. In doing so, I help to drive new business and ensure Whittlebury Park remains a top choice for corporate events and land hire.

What's the most challenging part of your job?

My entire office can tell you, one of the greatest challenges we have is the "Tetris" game that we play with enquiries. Turning down an enquiry due to availability is not in our nature, so we push ourselves to find creative solutions that work for everyone. It’s a team effort to ensure we maximise opportunities and accommodate as many clients as possible.

What's the best advice that’s been given to you?

Sales is about actions: The more you do, the more you get! Consistency is the key to success.

What's the best part of your job?

One thing I enjoy most is that no idea is ever too much. If a client has a vision, we go above and beyond to bring it to life. For example, a simple suggestion of a circus theme sparked a flurry of ideas. Within minutes, we were discussing giant tiger and elephant statues, a full-sized carousel, a ringmaster, and a magician. That's the magic of Whittlebury Park,where every idea

is embraced, and every dream can become a reality. It’s this fun, creative energy that makes every day so exciting!

What's your favourite food on the menu?

I have such a sweet tooth, so any of the afternoon treats on the day delegate packages are a must try! My all-time favourite being the Biscoff doughnuts, served warm with drizzling Biscoff spread in the middle, they are truly delicious and a must if you are on a delegate package with us!

What are the catering options for delegates?

As standard, our day delegates are treated to arrival pastries and snacks throughout the day, including Whittlebury’s famous sausage rolls. For those on a 24-hour package, we offer a wide variety of menu options depending on group size. From street food and BBQs to "around the world" dishes and our perfected banqueting menu, there's plenty to choose from.

I’ve even challenged the chefs to create bespoke menus for specific themes, ensuring that every dining experience is unique to our clients' needs.

Do

you have a favourite meeting

room and why?

This is a tough one! I can’t choose between the Atrium 1905, with its stunning panoramic views of the golf course, on sunny days, you can see for miles. Or the Orangery, with its bright, airy feel from the skylights. I love the indoor-outdoor feel of both spaces, surrounded by vast greenery.

What's been the most memorable event held at your venues?

It’s going to have to be British Grand Prix weekend! The buzz of having 10,000 campers mixed with over 1,000 corporate hospitality guests was amazing. From brand activations and VIP filming to F1 driver interviews and evening drinks receptions the day was full-on however, despite the unfortunate weather, all guests had a blast, which made it an unforgettable day.

What do you like to do in your down-time?

If I'm not at work or walking my dog, you’ll find me rowing. I started during university and haven't looked back! Now a proud member of Northampton Rowing Club, I'm either out on the River Nene or indoors on a rowing machine. It’s a great way to meet friends and such a rewarding activity, I highly recommend.

Why should an event organiser pick your venues?

If you're looking for a one-stop venue to host corporate meetings, conferences, exhibitions, teambuilding activities, or even festivals, look no further. When you book with us, you get a dedicated event planner to ensure everything runs smoothly. And rest assured, no request is too big, we'll always do our best to turn your ideas into reality!
