A MANAGER at a top Hull sports and entertainment venue is set to share lessons and memorable moments from her 20-year career at a major skills and training event.

Katie West, sales manager at the MKM Stadium for Venue Catering Partner Limited, has been hit by a flying football kicked by a former England captain and accidentally tipped drinks over a world famous rock star.

She even revealed how she almost "messed up" before officially starting at the city stadium, after confessing she wasn't a fan of one of the teams. However, as a key speaker at a forthcoming training event, she will tell how her passion for people has helped her achieve her career ambitions.

The employer forum, organised by Hull and East Yorkshire Local Skills Improvement Partnership (HEY LSIP), is expected to attract more than 100 business leaders to the MKM Stadium in Hull on Monday, February 9, to kick off National Apprenticeship Week with a discussion on careers and work experience.
