Coca‑Cola HBC has a long and proud history on the island of Ireland, with 80 years of business under its belt and a wide product portfolio that continues to grow each year. I am grateful to have received so many opportunities from the business that have helped me to grow and develop on my career so far.
I started in Coca‑Cola HBC in 2013 as an Events Team Member, working on a part-time basis while I finished my degree. During my time on the Events Team, I worked across a range of events and projects, and benefitted from exposure to multiple departments, stakeholders, customers and employees.
In 2017, I joined the Public Affairs and Communications function as the Internal Communications Co-ordinator. Coca‑Cola HBC places a lot of emphasis on supporting employees and driving the right culture across the organisation. Internal Communications plays a active role in this, and I grasped the opportunity to educate and inspire the employees of Coca‑Cola HBC!
From product launches and new campaigns, to igniting pride in our community programmes and charity partnerships, there are so many great stories to share with employees. I have particularly enjoyed championing new communications channels and platforms that capture the enthusiasm of employees. I was proud to play a key role in the organisation of our successful annual company conference for our 740 employees and I’m also responsible for bringing our brands to life with impactful office branding and activations.
