Katie Pearce

I graduated in 2001 from the Birmingham College of Food with a Hospitality Management degree and went on to work in 4-star hotels in both Dublin and Birmingham. In 2003, I joined the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham as a Staffing Officer to gain a ‘Back of House’ perspective on event operations. In 2004 I was promoted to Recruitment & Deployment Manager for the NEC Group’s city centre venues comprising of The ICC, The NIA, Symphony Hall and Wine Republic.

In August 2007, I joined Off to Work as General Manager for the Birmingham office to ensure that the growing database of clients within the Midlands region received the best possible hospitality professionals. 2009 saw Off to Work expand even further, and I oversaw the development of more Midlands contacts in the North-West. In September 2012, our Scotland offering was established.

Now as Director of Regional Operations, I have been responsible for looking after some of the company’s largest clients across a multitude of events throughout the UK, ranging from The Open Championship to Conservative Party conferences. In 2012 I was delighted to project lead our London 2012 Olympic delivery. I am regularly asked to support with the logistics of staffing an event – from remote recruitment, through to accommodation and transport solutions.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for support or advice for your staffing or events management requirements across the UK.
