Conference Cambridge, the official free venue-finding service for Cambridge University and the Colleges, is strengthening its team with the appointment of Laura Worsley as Events Enquiry Administrator.

The role includes taking enquiries for events at venues in the Conference Cambridge portfolio, helping to convert enquiries and so bring people and business to Cambridge.

Laura comes to Conference Cambridge from 12 years at the University Arms Hotel where latterly she worked as Conference & Events Sales Manager, co-ordinating events, training and driving new business.

Kelly Vickers, Manager of Conference Cambridge said: “We are delighted to welcome Laura to our team. Her in-depth experience of event co-ordination, from taking the initial enquiry through to the event itself, is already proving invaluable and will make an excellent contribution to the service we offer both clients and our venues.”

Laura added: “In my previous role, I often worked with the team here and knew they were friendly, professional and passionate about what they do. It felt a natural next step for me. I am proud to be part of the College network and look forward to getting out and about and meeting more people in due course.”
